>>2889498>This wasn't edited much apart from a crop/perspective correction.Stop tossing the film into the scanner and crossing your fingers that the scanner gives you a file you like. Manually adjust the curves before scanning to give you a relatively flat image with no clipping of the shadows and highlights. Then take that image into post and play with curves, bumping the reds a bit to give more warmth and pulling the black point to avoid the black shadows.
You could also use the white balance dropper in the curves dialogue and click around on areas of the image that you feel are close to neutral grey. Sidewalks are usually a good candidate for this (and that's what I did in the attached photo + bumped the red channel a bit afterwards).
