One of the big reasons I prefer to get my films done "process and scan" is that I find it quite hard to get good colour from scans of colour negative film. This is OK for newly shot films, but I've recently re-started scanning old negatives (this time to include films of our children that didn't involve "interesting places or journeys"!). So this is 30-40 year old film stock, and it really doesn't seem to give good colour.
Recently, via tweet I cam across this video (

) by Alan Brock. It's really about scanning large format Ektar, but there's lots of interesting information besides. The first thing I noticed was that Epson Scan seems to have greater colour management controls than Vuescan Pro does. I'm not sure there's anything in Vuescan other than the luminance graph and the film selections.
So, can anyone give me advice on colour-correcting scans in post processing? I use Aperture and Affinity Photo, but please don't let that stop you!
