Do you have any opinion on the color restoration aspect of negatives
relative to positive? I haven't tried much on negatives still, but seems
negatives tend to be more mundane than slides.
Epson's way of removing orange mask on negatives sounds a great idea,
but still do not know how other aspects of coloration affect as the result.
Some negatives have more intense orange than others.
