Hi Mishka, Often a highly saturated film lacks subtle detail in the super-saturated areas, much like winding the saturation up in a digital image, detail can be obfuscated. De-saturation can't restore the lost information, I prefer to scan lower contrast films myself even if the scanner has a good dynamic range.
