I will merely add to what Moose has said.
You can increase colour where you wish using PS, but you do lose
information from the file that you are modifying. It is always worth
getting the colour (and exposure of course) right in the first place.
Likewise with grain reduction: the software which "removes" grain is
merely interpolating between adjacent areas of image which its
algorithm judges to be desirable image information rather than
undesirable grain. This is my understanding, but the software cannot
do anything but invent parts of the image.
Finally, as I understand it, the advantage of having wider latitude is
that negative film can cope with slightly higher contrast scenes,
whereas slide film requires you to be more choosy about which part of
an exposure range you require. As a simple illustration, a contre-jour
shot will be more likely to have detail in the shadows with negative
film.

This weekend is going to be the peak of the fall foliage season. I
already have the idea for the picture, went at the location already
and “shot” it. It is wonderful as it is.
The problem is film.
