Do you have the Portra profile have you profiled the film? It will help.
I don't use colourperfect–cant help there.
When I say your images look strange it is because I checked them out on a Mac and PC on the latter they look posterised taking them into PS I noticed you embedded Pro Photo.
That won't help other judge your colours over the internet.
Your skintone in the first shots you posted looks ballpark (in the 2nd shot) OK, 2 mins in PS should be enough.

Story of my life with photography....
Story of my life with photography....
Cameras and capturing images 45 years now... Great enjoyment.
Tried film processing, sort of enjoyed it, decided against it... many years ago.
Finally found the one thing in photography that "drives me up a friggin wall"!!
Scanning. And it's not as if I haven't made an effort. Three different scanners in the last 8 years, and sheer frustration.
Life is too short, and scanning thoroughly reverses the fun of shooting.
I judiciously pick the film negs and transparencies that I want in digital and I pay professional people to do the scanning.
I respect those people, much as I respect the same people who program computers. They must be cut of the same cloth, and very weird cloth it is indeed.
Yours truly from a NON scanner, and apologize for not contributing anything helpful to the thread..........
Oh Wait??? Perhaps I did

color correcting the corners only and adjust them to the centre image doesn't take 2 seconds for me..
and the images I posted are screenshots taken with CMD-Shft 4... there is no color profile embedded there.. that'd be weird.

could you provide a completely uncorrected 48-bit HDR TIF positive, so I can try to load it into colorperfect to show you whats possible?
