OK, here’s my take on it… Youre color correcting the wrong image first! Forest
pic probably has open shade,… lots of green and blue… while the shot from the
car is “normal” daylight. If you balance your scan setting and lock them down,
you’re probably going to think darn that foliage shot looks too cool.
And since this is film, unlike a digital asset, it does include any of the
usual crutches for adjusting for changing light values, you’ll be best advised
to lock in the best guess for normal for that FILM base, the coding on the film
edges and move forward. I’d make an action in PS and include a curve and a
levels adjustment and move on.
Exposure looks well within normal, and there you go.
What are you using for the scanning process?

Hello Bob,
The issue is the overall "purple" colouration of the neagtive, when this is
inverted to a positive there is a strong yellow colouration, like a yellow
filter was used. Note the frame on the left does not show this colouration and
it inverts to a normal looking print. Comparing to C-41 images I have taken
they look more brownish to my eye, and so are similar to the left most frame.

OK, FOLKS,
All I see is the standard color mask (mentioned in previous post)
that all color negs have to allow printing without excessive filter packs. I
see NOTHING out of the ordinary. Am I missing something???
CHEERS!

Took a quick picture of part of a strip on the light box

The left most image has normal colour, the middle one has a strong yellow
effect, and the right one the effect is present, but much less severe.
Hope this helps shed some light on the issue.

Why don't you put one or more of these negative strips on a light box and
photograph it. You could then make those images available so we can see and
evaluate them. If you don't have a light box open MS Word or Wordpad or
whatever you have. Use the white screen of your computer's monitor for a white
box. If we can see what you are describing we might be able to come up with
some good ideas...

This would be extremely useful!
