How to achieve Kodak Ektar 100 "natural" looking ?

[lovesoftwares]

Hi everyone, I'm new to scanning and I want to ask some noob question:
I'm shooting Kodak Ektar 100 6x6 films and have them developed and scanned at the lab.
Then I took some developed films to my friend's house and scanned them with Epson V700 and Silverfast 6.6, these are my result compare with the lab scanning:

This is my result using Profile Ektar 100, Auto Tolerance max to the right, Image Auto Adjust:

this is my result with the same setting above plus one hit "Auto color" in Photoshop:

and this is the lab scanning result:

I think the lab scanning result looks best because it looks more "natural" and have the "Kodak characteristic" - I mean if you search photos from Kodak color film and compare to Fuji and other you'll see both of them have a natural yellow cast which I call it the "Kodak characteristic".

So, have you got the solution (the new profile, other scanning method, etc...) that I could using with Epson V700 and Silverfast, to achieve the result closest to the lab scanning ?

Dear lovesoftwares,

I believe you prefer a more subjective tendency to the yellowish cast.
You can add extra yellow to your picture or decrease a bit of red as well. You can even modify the existing profile to match your so called "Kodak characteristic"

The lab scan looks a bit yellow to me, too, and I'm on a hardware-calibrated monitor. The V700 scan, to my eye, is a bit blue, especially in the shadows.

To add/remove yellow you can use the Selective Color Correction (SCC) tool with layers. There's more info on the tool here:

Hope this helps!
