My first DSLR, Kodak DCS 100, was a massive pack and a 1.3-megapixel grayscale image. But it made a nice 8x10 print on my Kodak XL-7700 dye sub. 

Yes to Photos.

Big-Multi-function? Dog forbid something like Lightroom. 
OK how about: https://imazing.com/converter

Apples free Photos app?

Available in the US, can you try getting them shipped from there?

If you need more, then you need Elements or similar. 

Indeed, it's useful and important to have GPUs that follows Adobe requirements. Sadly many Windows machines don't. 

Again, just check the Adobe user-to-user forums for those speaking of GPU issues, Mac vs. Windows. Quote rare for Mac users with modern GPUs. Not so with Win users. Big difference: One company controls all aspects of GPU for those Adobe apps. The other isn't the case. As for LR being crash-prone, I can't recall it ever happening to this Mac user. Based on your hardware, OS, YMMV. 

First, the preview architecture in Develop is unique to all other modules and the most accurate preview of the data. You should always view previews there and elsewhere at 1:1 or greater and when comparing, use the same zoom for each. So compare at 100% zoom in PS and 1:1 in Develop.
It is normal to see slight differences at 1:1 but if really excessive, you might have a corrupted display profile. Recalibrate the display or whatever you usually do to create a display profile. When given the option to build this profile, pick Version 2 (not V4) and Matrix not LUT. As to viewing Develop module and Library and outside of LR, it helps to soft proof in Develop using the same profile used in Library (Adobe RGB (1998).
 

So just the soft proof with a printer profile between the two apps don't match right? And with any printer profile?

Oh, one thing to check on this printer (P900) is the media setting on the printer control panel is in 'sync' with what you've selected in the print driver. Looks a lot different on Mac, but there is an option called " Media Type: Use Printer Settings" and they need to both be correct. 

Sounds like all you need is minor addjustments to display brightness.

Ouch!

Yes indeed, it takes those Besseler carriers but I’d hope if you found one, it would come with them. 

The learning curve with a drum scanner is the mounting with gel (or oil) which is messy but often necessary. Plus the software; some, like those driven by LinoColor or ScanView are great, didn’t like Howtek. Then there is Imacon which is kind of, sort of a drum (but not PMT) and really a great compromise: fast, easy to use, pretty good software. Great for color neg scans. 

Got an Epson V750, decent but not in the close to the league with a deadicated film scanner like the Coolscan and even that isn’t in the legaue with a Leaf or Imacon. Amazing too, in early 1990, the first Nikon I had cost $10K in 1990 dollars. 

$1339 isn’t a bad price for the product either. An Epson V850 is a mere $100 less on B&H. 

Leaf was also avaiable as SCIS (a bit newer) and much easier to hook up to older Macs which is how I ran mine in the day. 

But if I had to buy a such a high quality scanner today, I’d look for an Imacon which is lightening fast in comparision or better, a ScanMate Drum scanner which quality wise is even better. 

Hardly extinct, you can still buy em new:

Now a LeafScan 45 with GPIB? That pup is old but still an amazingly fine scanner. I miss those days, waiting 30 minutes per scan….

PS is paper dependant with paper profiles. As is LR and both should match each other all settings being equal.

Can you post screen captures of the driver and page setup?
Note, I’m out of down for a week so can’t try this on my Epson P900 for a little while. 

What application, what OS, same in all apps?

The Photoshop screen capture* doesn’t look right to me but see comments below. The middle one doesn’t make sense to me, we want apples to apple comparisons in all cases. 

The two applications when setup correctly and bug free (GPU/profile handling etc) should preview identically. 

* The screen captures are ending up in sRGB to upload so I can't comment on the quality of the colors seen, only how the differ, side by side from each other and indeed, for some reason, the printer profile softproof looks really bad. 

Do you see oddities like this to printer profiles if you pick a totally different profile, even for a different printer?

OP is looking for one larger than 27"

No problem, just more money:

There's at least one on eBay:

If you can still find one, a smart display system like the SpectraView PA271Q.
