The PhotoShop plug-in for Kodak's RFS-2035+ film scanner has predefined settings for almost all of the 35mm Kodak color films (negs and slides). Of course, you also have the usual R,G,B brightness and contrast, as well 3 levels of "sharpen", to adjust prior to scanning. It does an excellent job w/ color negatives.
