To my eye the colour balance here looks spot on.
Emulsive??
My color negative scanning/editing is basically the same as what I wrote in the tutorial that is on my website. After nearly 7 years of playing around with the method I have a much better understanding of what I am looking for color-wise, and then how to achieve it using only Levels and Curves. The only real change is that I more often adjust the color curves of individual (Red, Green, or Blue) color channels. If I have say, a reddish cast to highlights but a greenish cast to shadows, I can fix that using a subtle S curve with the green channel. This will add green to the highlights and remove green from the shadows.
There are some minor changes to my scanning method but they're really not very big.

Originally posted by Swift1 Although I recently acquired a really nice Zeiss Contax IIIa and I forced myself to go out around the neighborhood and shoot half a roll in it. Took me a week to recover, but I might have a few new shots to share here.
So the roll of film I chose for testing my recently acquired Contax IIIa ended being an expired roll of Kodak MAX 400 that really hadn't aged well.
It did it's job though and showed that the frame spacing was good and the shutter works well (even exposure across the frame) at all the speeds I tried.
This is one of the more decent frames from the roll ...
