You're right about scanning film, as the film isn't really "color" per se,
it is typically 3 different layers each of one color.  What "color" is the
4th layer of the Fuji Press "4th layer" films?  Do you have any knowledge of
that?  I have not tried scanning that film yet, but it is great for "mixed
lighting", in other words, incandescents and fluorescents etc. without the
yellow cast, and the prints come out great.

Regards,

Austin
