Your scanning software should have a function for scanning negative film
which adjusts for the orange mask and gives balanced color output. If it
doesn't, and you plan to scan a lot of old negs, you should try Viewscan
<Hamrick.com> . Even if it does, you should try Viewscan.
<hamrick.com>Viewscan supports the Photosmart. It comes with specific
info on the mask characteristics on many films, but not yours, I
suspect. Better yet, for your purposes, it is possible to adjust it to
any film base color using a small clear area, even the space between
frames. The current version is available for free download and testing.
I paid the $40 for the full version and unlimited upgrades and feel it's
one of the best software deals I've received.

I dug out the original SFW negatives and you are right, tightly wound
little springs. I was able to get them to feed easier upside down. Color
was way off into the blue/magenta area but I was able to do a reasonable
correction by practically maxing out the yellow/orange. Here is a direct
scan, no modification except to convert for screen. Also the train
picture from the negative. Much better this time. Hopefully I'll add
more as I get time. These
winter days lend themselves to this activity.
