RED NEGATIVES please, no brown, no orange C-41
Hello:
Firstable sorry for my English. I’ve been scanning medium format during last year using a Braun fs120, but I’ve discovered that it has difficult scanning c-41 developed negatives. Not with all, ONLY scanning brown/orange negatives. So I have to get perfect c-41 process in order to getting RED negatives. I am using tetenal c-41 (following correctly all instructions, times, etc.).
Left: negatives developed in shop, right: my development.

When the negative scanned is brown or orange when you see the finel image you can find red color over the darks places, and sometimes a blue soft filter over all the image. I found sometimes paralelles lines in the sky as you can see:

Somebody know how to get this red color please? Perhaps using other chemicals?
Thank you very much.

You're using the Braun FS120 scanner and have noticed that it struggles with C-41 negatives that are brown/orange, but it works well when the negatives are red-toned. You're also using Tetenal C-41 chemicals, and you’re confident about following the development instructions correctly.
