Film Tone Correction Tool: to balance color for scanned film

When scanning film, currently we get a very flat Positive. This is excellent. However, to take it further, and for those who have less experience with manual color balancing, and also to save time; it would be awesome to either have a Tool or ICC Profiles for color correcting the film. To balance the film and add contrast in a quicker way.

Since this affects White Balance, it would be nice to have an inverted White Balance tool as well to compensate for the negative conversion and make more clear what white balance we really wanna target per film.

Current workaround

Levels Tool:

Use sliders in each R, G, and B channel to manually balance the colors and add contrast at the same time. Match lower and upper levels in each channel so that absolutes are equal.

    EDIT: I discovered through the tutorials released today that when prepped correctly, the CONVERT NEGATIVE button in the toolbar fixes my problem perfectly, and actually does so using the same R, G, and B Levels that I was using to solve the problem. This is awesome thank you!
