Yes, I can.
With enlarger you correct the whole picture by the same amount. The
proportion od colors is always the same, provided you use the same film
type. With digital you can have the whole picture well corrected but one
particular color will be off and this particular color will be oversaturated
in VueScan and undesaturated in NikonScan. VueScan gives really good results
but highlights always have a blueish tint. I'll try to post some samples on
my site later today or tomorrow, I have to pay for my expired pbase account.
