Unless what you're saying is that to your eyes, even the RGB image has a
clarity of color that you couldn't get with scanned color film,
regardless of how it would print, because of the difference between the
layered character of the color film vs the unitary nature of the single
negatives for each color. I guess I'd have to see a side-by-side
comparison, of a professionally-adjusted scan from color slide film (of
the same size of course) to the profesionally-adjusted composite image
made from the three separate negatives, but I suppose it could well be
so.
