   thanks guys! :)
   I am quite pleased with this one, but it is unfortunately one of the only ones that worked with the scanner... I'll keep trying.

   This isn't so bad.

   You might have had a problem with the original scene though: if you have any internal lights on to illuminate the flowerpot and bowl etc from the inside, then you've got mixed lighting - warm orange inside or cold blue outside. In your final result you've compensated for this (I don't know how intentionally) - check the varying tints up the left window-frame. I think this is one of those things where your eyes & brain don't see the same as any one film, to be honest :)

   Still, I thoroughly recommend using VueScan if not already. This allows you to specify ICC profiles for the scanner (reflective and transparency) which you can lift out of canon's own scanning software. It also allows you to play with the white-balance to your heart's content, and if all else fails just find something that should be white in the preview and click on it manually. And you can save the RAW info from the scanner as a .TIFF or .DNG for use in photoshop (theoretically; it didn't work as DNG when I tried it).

   My two cents, anyway. :)

   Thanks for all the input people - discussion thread started on this:

   Spod, you could be right... the problem is, I seem to have this particular problem (see the thread linked to above) in quite a few of the shots from the Yashica, even in places where I wouldn't say I was dealing with mixed light.

   Even if they're not the colors you wanted, they work really well in this. It's beautiful.

    i also have problems with neg...i've seen people get some really beautiful results with portra though, which makes me think i should give it more of a chance. i've been using fuji reala, but i'm going over to slide film for a bit...i just want to know the colours i'm supposed to be getting from the start, then correcting the scans for that - not just guessing.

    you're getting some really nice results though...what's your workflow?

    I'm drawn to the everyday domestic scenes.
