scanning color negatives for the first time - help!

You need to balance , using layers, a white point , a grey point and a black point - pick each point and using curves make them balance. Now you will be at neutral color BUT that is not what we see as someone has pointed out.

This all sounds harder then it is especially after two or three times.

From there make the image what you saw. Never use brightness and contrast use curves and levels on adjustment layers.
