Its correct, it always changes depending on the image content included in the scanning frame
T4b wrote:But not it's random color/contrast-changing as soon as I change the frame (red box).
It is not random, again, it depends on the image information contained within the red borders of the scanning frame, if you change it, its content also change.

Great, but it is a subjective choice. The color copy is also a different photographic material which does not match the characteristics of the film itself.

"Awful" is also a subjective judgment. Again, your contact sheet is a printed copy in a different material than that of the film itself, or the the scanner, or your monitor. The NegaFix profile is giving you a similar reproduction of the actual film (however that is also impossible to see because it is just in the digits of the file itself).

Deactivating "Auto" in the general settings is not enough in this case. You must first click the expert settings button in NegaFix, then the Expansion tab (Ausdehnung auf Deutsch), and then untick the "Auto" checkbox located at the lower right corner of the Expansion tab (this should be done after you have reached the desired adjustment, after that you can resize the scan frame to contain the rest of the picture).
