Just got into medium format and previously scanned my 35mm negs on my
Canon
5000 no problems. This particular scanner however does not hold 6x4.5
negs
so as an experiment I cut a neg down to 35mm size and scanned as usual.
This
film was also C41 processed. It a nutshell everything appeared very blue
and
only with a lot of correction was it resolved. I used fuji NPH400. Is
there
any explanation for this as I am now somewhat reluctant to go and
purchase
an epson scanner with medium format facility. Do more sophisticated
scanners
identify the type of film used?

I've had no trouble with the ultrageneric "slide" and "color negative"
settings on the Nikon 8000. But people who know all sorts of gobs of stuff
have special "profiles" for different films.

Wild guess follows.

Your problem may be that your software may look at the unexposed area
_between_ the frames to figure out the color corrections to apply, and if
you cut down a 645 neg, you wouldn't have those areas.
