Hey guys / Nico, how can I get this Ektar to be more neutral? I\'m getting results quite often that are too aqua/pink that seem to be un-fixable with any white balance settings in Vuescan or Lightroom?
here\'s an example;
same white balance but better;
Then a completely different day and roll that seemed to come out perfectly normal. I should double check as this may have been Portra but I get the same issue with Portra though less frequently. (could it be my lab?)
The colour casts in your images are not too bad are these commercial scans or did you scan yourself?
The easiest way to correct the scan is to open the TIFF or DNG (preferably 16bit) file up in Photoshop and then click on Image / Adjustments / Levels - then go and select the blue channel and move the sliders ever so slightly to get rid of the blue cast. You may also need to very marginally go into the green channel and tweak that a bit. It is a bit of trial and error and you should be able to correct this fairly easily.
