You have to turn on color management in Nikonscan and chose and install one

the many profiles available. You'll need to let Nikonscan use the same
profile
for display and scanning and also install the same profile in your Windows
screen settings. Ideally they should all match, but of course you can
incur
the
overhead of on-the-fly profile matching.

But surely the question is: since the preview and the full scan are both
coming
from the same scanner and being displayed on the same screen by the same
piece
of software, at which point in the chain is a different colour profile being
used and why?

And surely the answer is: if you don't tell Nikonscan which color profile to
scan with and Windows which color profile to display with, you are in a mess.
Nikonscan displays nothing, Windows does. Read on the subject, it's worth it.

Are you deliberately missing my point? BOTH scans, the preview and the full, are
produced by NikonScan and displayed by Windows. So both should be subject to the
same colour profiles at every step. So why are they different?
