What you need is a film scanner specifically made for slides and negatives.
When a negative is scanned (you set it for that) there is an electronic
filter that "removes" the masked base color. Also, for decent scanning of
color negatives, you need at least a 2400 ppi resolution, which reflection
scanners can't do. The lowest price film scanner that I know of is the
Hewlett-Packard SmartScan which sells for about $500 U.S. It will do 35mm
slides and negatives up to 6x9 cm. It's the one I use, and I'm very
satisfied with it.
