I think that's the OP situation; a rental scanner and he is trying to
maximize his experience if I read his post correctly. So time is what is
going to cost. There is just no way to save the time though. To get good
scans, can take a bit of time to optimize the scan workflow for you
material. Take copious notes so that when you go back you can go faster next
time. I might suggest, if you haven't used this place before, is to just run
some test situations and call it a day. Go home and run those tests through
your work flow and see what worked best  and then go back with your negs and
get to work. 

 

 

I'd also confirm the blue channel as a problem color many times and that an
RGB and subdue the blue channel later would be OK.

It's easy to test these things oneself. Scanning takes quite a bit of
time. It makes sense to do a little testing before doing a whole bunch of
scans, as you wouldn't want to have to redo all of the work. In my
experience, pro scanners show less of a difference between the channels of a
neutral negative than consumer scanners do, but my Cezanne does show
differences between the channels, including with a Stouffer test wedge.
