The whites are a bit blown. Can this be from the scanner?
Careless handling on my part, more like (scanner exports to TIFF protecting the highlights somewhat, I then do very moderate post processing to reign things in before exporting to JPEG, usually balancing things a little)
Anyhow, I only see blown whites in image 8 (the plastic covering material ...). But it's also possible that my current screen (uncalibrated) shows different hues because it's simply too bright. I'll definitely look into that, anyway - usually, I'm quite careful not to let anything like this happen; must have let my eye slip from the histogram ... I'm fine with fully lit whites to more or less filling (not blowing!) the bars, though ...
EDIT: This is interesting; it's just a very, very bright area in the image (8), represented by a spike very close to the right of the histogram. And I now know why - it's a direct reflextion of a bright, spread out and distorted by the material. Underexposing the whole image by the tiniest of amounts reveals the spike, but keeps the image impression exactly the same, just a little more gray ... I can get some information back by severely crushing the highlights, but it doesn't look natural if I do this. It's all just pointing to the likely fact that we have a fully lit/exposed area of film here ... Dodging would probably fix this, but the application I'm using doesn't provide that.
On image 9, there's no such spike - a tiny peak maybe, but no spike. I guess the scanner does ETTR; I could probably change this, but I'm basically fine with it.
EDIT2: Well, I *have* found a way to selectively correct exposure for the area in question - but I actually don't like the result. I'll keep it that way. Note to self: Protect your highlights - with film as well; or accept bright whites ...
