I've been wondering about this as well, as I'm just getting started in this
experience of scanning. Do I adjust for accuracy to the print, which is what
the photo finisher, or worse, the printing machine, thought it should be? Or
do I adjust for how the slide film "interpreted" the scene, which is
dependent on the saturation, etc., of the film used? Or do I adjust for how
I remember the scene? Or how it should have been had a less or more
saturated (read more accurate, whatever that is) film been used? Or do I
just go ahead and make a picture I like, and forget about any supposed
accuracy?
Here is one I battled with, where 2 different cameras and 2 different films
were used to make 3 photographs of the same scene. I quit trying to make
them match exactly when it dawned on me they were all an interpretation of
what was constantly changing light conditions anyways.
