The images in that other thread have crushed blacks and incorrect gamma curves, so it is hard to compare one to the other.
The sample I posted is straight out of the scanner, I haven't yet gone through and adjusted colours to match the film yet. It is a purposely wide gamut scan to allow colour correction later. So it is not a good colour reference yet either.
A lot of people don't realise that a full scan of a film will look nothing like the original projected image. It will look somewhat washed out and very flat. This is required to ensure you capture *all* of the detail from the print or negative.
Much like the output from a video camera that shoots in raw. You capture the full range then colour correct in post.
If the aim is to make it look like the print, you then use the print on an editor as a reference and take readings directly from the print using a calibrated light source if that is the aim.
Plus, every print will be slightly different.
Unless a colourist has gone back to the original print and done a grading pass to match it, what you get out of any scanner will be rather different.
As for the process for this particular scan (as requested by pittrek), the sensor is a mono sony ICX694ALG, three 16bpp exposures per frame, using a Red, Green and Blue light source spectrally matched to the CCD, to allow full resolution and the full dynamic range to be captured.
Capturing this way is slow and eats up a *lot* of storage, but gives the best quality.
