But I am the only one here struck by the incongruence of working to make digital images look just like film?

I shot it on Fuji NPS160, with professional development, but had it scanned commerially on low res: all flattened out. http://tinyurl.com/y4o8pq or bigger: http://tinyurl.com/tbwgw This is the same shot after I let Alien Skin (and some minor additional PS alterations) have a go at the original scan today: as big as above: http://tinyurl.com/y373rf !!! the big ones are in Adobe RGB !!! Isn't the 2nd one much more distinctive and doesn't it have a lot more character? Or am I just overenthousiastic?
