The Graphic Artist in my office suggested that you go to Image>Adjust>Variations and click on the yellow and green to remove blue and red from the surface color until the purple is gone. You can do this with midtones and shadows until you are pleased with the color. If all the slides have about the same amount of purple, you can do a macro to perform the same variations over and over. However, this is only one way to do it. You may also want to go to the Kodak web site to check their FAQs. Lavina Velasco Photo Librarian Media/Materials Clearinghouse>>> William Allen <mailto:wallen@AZTEC.ASTATE.EDU> 05/12/99
01:51pm >>> My department is still in the early stages of digitizing its art slide collection. We have a large number of older color slides that have turned purple with age. Does anybody know of a set of defined functions in Adobe PhotoShop5 to bring these images back to a semblance of their original color? I guess I'm really asking, do we know what color(s) is lost (or gained) in the aging process of the average 1950's Kodak slide. If we knew that then it ought to be possible to set up a macro in PhotoShop to automate the unpurpling process.Thanks. wa
