Part of the process of publishing my dad's book is gathering and digitizing the slides he took on his rangefinder. He used both Kodakchrome and Ektachrome slide film. The Kodachrome slides are in almost pristine color condition. The Ektachrome slides are a different story. The image on the left is one of the Ektachrome slides and you can see that all the cyan and yellow color has faded, leaving only the magenta. Through browsing several online discussion forums, I was able to learn how to adjust the levels and color balance in Photoshop CS4 and bring back a semblance of the original color. It's not perfect, but I'm happy with the results.
