If scanners ever reproduce colours exactly as we see them, I have never seen such a scanner.. Not only do scanned images tend to be lighter or darker than the originals, depending on your scanner and its settings, they exhibit an incredible range of different hues, tints, shades, saturation, and lightness.
I use Pixelmator or Pixelmator Pro on my desktop computer (a Mac) to edit images, which nearly always can benefit from some editing. On my iPad, I use a nifty little program called Snapseed, the only drawback to which is the inability to process very large, hi-res images (which few of us need anyway).
Scanning, by the way, is a Black Art that cannot be revealed in any detail to most of us mortals. If you ever think that your scanner is waiting quietly get even for all the nasty words you thrown at it, you’re not wrong!

Makes me want to go back to iPhone. Scanner takes much longer, and if I have to adjust color on every stamp, it will only add to that. I do agree the scanner might be a bit clearer, but at what cost in time?

At least with the scan you can see the black mark below the E of postage and the black in the second A of Canada is much clearer.

Scanners also use a bright light source to produce the scans which may cause images to appear brighter.

I have a Lide 400, so I hope the settings are the same for yours. I use Advanced Mode instead of Basic Mode, and ensure that Image Settings are all off or zeroed

The challenge is the scanner is not the only variable affecting color. I have a 3 monitor setup and cannot adjust them to completely match each other. After I had cataract surgery I had discovered my cataracts were adding a yellow tint!

You can find the options on the top right corner of the preview page where you do your scan

I've been using a Canon LIDE 600 for about a month. It seems to be producing pics that are light than the original. The attached photos....top taken with LIDE, bottom (darker) with iPhone 13. In actuality, the darker one is pretty much the color of the original.
