I took a number of slides on Kodachrome film, and then scanned them for further work. These were taken under flourescent light conditions. Normally I would have used an FL-D filter to color-correct while I was taking the photos, but this time I didn’t. Obviously the Color Correction feature of Photoshop enables me to correct the color balance of the scans.

QUESTION: In the RGB mode, does anyone have the amounts to change the color characteristics that corresponds to the FL-D filter so I don’t have to guess?

Thanks in advance.

There is no set amount of correction that will make it right. The basic rules would be to find areas of known color values, plus neutrals and your black and white points. Set those, and most of your color will virtually self correct.You can even try the Autocolor function in PS 7, which attempts to do everything I just mentioned, but automatically.
