For scanning of slides I much prefer Nikonscan, the Kodakchrome settting
gives rather accurate results.
I don't know what results you expected, you want them look good to you or
look close to the original slide? For me I choose the later. I use lightbox
view to compare with the scanned image side by side. Actually, I just use
the white area of the screen as lightbox. Nikonscan usually can do an
excellent job out of the box, save me a lot of post adjustment time.
