<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;">I think you've got tough luck. While I also scanned lots of slides and even more 35-mm colour negatives very successfully with my Epson V800 I only had to do minor corrections, most of them with the digikam built-in editor. </p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;">I tried the same with your picture and found that it requires a lot of patience and time (which I'm lacking currently) to somewhat get the right balance of colours.</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;">The software that goes with my scanner is indeed very good and does already a lot of work for me. Draw your own conclusions from this.</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;">All the best</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;">Gerd</p>
