Scanning Fuji Superia 100

[XAos]

Got some Fuji Superia 100 back from the lab. (grrrr rolled up my negatives with his bare fingers all over the film in front of my very eyes without making any attempt to handle it by the edges.)

Anyways I'm trying to scan it and I can't get the colors to come out right. Anyone have either any information on this film, or how to determine the color curves for any given random film? Using an Epson 3170 w/ iscan on Linux, but curves is curves. It appears rather greenish.

If I cannot get the colours right I normally fall back on Photoshop, 'Auto Colours' option. Sorts things out in 90% of cases. If you don't have it send me a sample and I'll see what happens.

Ok - here's a sample, no level stretching done (cause I didn't want to mess up the balance.) Hopefully Spidey will come in handy along with skin tones to get things right.

My attempt.

I don't know the 3170 neither iscan, but superia 100 is my first choice of film for scanning on my old Canon 2720 with vuescan.

It should work.

That is not green, it is mostly yellow with a little red or magenta.

I got some cheap Fuji, Superia HD I think, for a party and it scanned fair on my Minolta 5400. Kodaks Portra films come out perfect with no manipulation ever. Well once when I used some well outdated T100 under mercury vapor/tungsten combo and it was all bluish. I saved a program to sort of fix it.

Epson flatbeds have a color correction option, also curves and a bunch of other stuff. I use mine for 4x5 and 120.

You need a backlight in the lid to scan negs properly.

On my 3170 I set it to automatic first and then adjust if necessary. I haven't run into what you show in this example. Lucky, I guess.
