"I wonder where the yellow went?" Pepsodent jingle of the 1950s. 

I have never been successful in restoring faded Kodacolor or Anscocolor 
prints to their pristine glory without an inordinate amount of handwork in 
Photoshop. If you want to avoid this effort, I suggest you save a scan in grayscale 
and try to make the best B&W picture you can. 

Good luck,
