[Leica] OT: Vuescan help with Kodachrome

[spencer at aotera.org (Spencer Cheng)]

Jim,

I have not had time to do scanning recently but my Epson scanner scans 
Kodachrome tends to blue. Using a calibration slide helps a lot though the 
result is still not quite true to the original without some more post-scan 
colour adjustment. I am still not satisfied with my scanned result. When I 
have time, I will get back to it.

Regards,
Spencer
