Before you rescan, try the curve tool. The "white clip" in NS on negatives is easily correctible with the curve tool. I find VS slide media setting clips shadows. Image media doesn't clip but gives awful color on Kodachrome. NS Kodachrome color is also off so I have to use curve tool to color balance. Mike Duncan
