I might start with looking at how your monitor is adjusted if colors are
off. Not sure what kind of film your scanning. Velvia generally gave me
the most trouble, especially contrast-wise.
There is a learning curve. I think it's "HERE" where I started to understand
that the "PRESENTED" image was mine and not the blind result of hardware
and software working together... just as the image one receives from the
film processor in a print or slide is not "THE" image.
Assuming your scanner is working within tolerance, sharpness should be able
to be adjusted post-scan. Unfortunately, I find that rarely is the raw scan
a finished product.

Tom,
The colors tend to fade. This, it seems, can
be somewhat fixed with fade correction. Also,
large scans seem to lack the sharpness of the
projected image. I guess I'll try scanning at
higher resolutions to see if that has an effect.
Well, I guess the learning curve was to be expected
but that's what I though all this new fangled
technology was supposed to do for us. ;)
Cheers,
Gautam
