TD Thee_DarkOverLord Apr 28, 2004 Time to learn about curves GS Gustavo_Sanchez Apr 28, 2004 Something like this <http://www.scantips.com/color.html> might put you in the right track. But, as Matt says, with curves it’d be better. CW Colin_Walls Apr 28, 2004 You might like to try this: Scan the slide Copy the layer Set the mode of the top layer to Multiply Reduce the opacity of the top layer to [say] 50% PC Philo_Calhoun Apr 28, 2004 Yes, learn about curves. Generally with old slides you’ll need to drag the red channel dark endpoint of the line to the right. JR John_R_Nielsen Apr 29, 2004 Image > Apply Image also works well with washed-out slides. GH Gary_Hummell Apr 29, 2004 A good reference on color correction is: Professional Photoshop by Dan Margulis. Not sure what the latest version number is but "6" onward would cover your needs.
