I have scanned both Kodachrome and Ektachrome, various Fuji films. All 
have different scan requirements to get the best from them. I simply 
created film type filters for my Polaroid scanner to get the bias correct 
and use the scanner's internal DSPs appropriately. Select the film in 
use, scan away.
