[Leica] IMGS: Kodak Elitechrome

[DANTE STELLA]

Have you tried Digital ROC? You’ll need an older version of Photoshop, but it is specifically designed for correcting problem colors on faded film.

Next, have you tried a halogen light source? If you’re using an LED or CFL to light things, it’s not going to look like it would if you used the same light that would be used to project it.
