[filmscanners] Re: Kodachrome green / scanner colorimetry

["Bernie Kubiak" <bkubiak@attbi.com>]

I've experienced the same phenomenon with a couple of old Kodachrome
slides using Vuescan and my Polaroid SS4000.  The slides in question
were indoor exposures, probably shot with some if not all tungsten
light.  I haven't had difficulty scanning daylight Kodachrome images.

Roger,

I wish it was that simple. I usually find that with old Kodachromes the
shadows go green and highlights go red and it is about right somewhere
in
the middle, so it takes a bit of playing about with curves etc to remove
the
casts accurately.

 What I've always
found with Kodachrome is that it scans bluish-cyan when I leave the
colour sliders at the default (1) position. Greens seem particularly
affected by this. I have to dial in some yellow and red to match the
original slides. Other films like EliteChrome usually come out just
about right at default.
