[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]In Vuescan, under filter tab there are boxes to tick, restore color, restore fading. Those often help. If fading is the issue, or a slide is underexposed, I've found it valuable to scan to a negative and adjust the density and then invert the image in Photoshop. If it is real bad, I just convert to black and white.
