<p>Hi Stuart</p>
<p>I am using a Wolverine F2D slide and film converter. It copies
the slide to a film card which I then copy to a folder on my
computer. There is no program intervention, simply a form of
copy/paste. My plan is then to repair the photos in the computer
and for this I am looking for a program that will start the
correction because as I said many of the slides are faded or
discoloured as is the one in the link.</p>

and Imagemagick are great but do not do what you want
automatically. I don't know how you intend to copy your slides
but Vuescan supports hundreds of scanners and does restore
colours as part of each scan for both slides and photos or
negatives. It does have a trial version so it may be worth a
look. <br>
<br>
I have no connection with Vuescan other than a satisfied user. <br>

I am now trying Manjaro KDE after many years of Kununtu. Of
course I am also planning to transfer (or redo) my Digikam
from Kubuntu to Manjaro. I have however a photo question that
doesn't specifically apply specifically to either of these
programs. As I said in the subject I hope it isn't OT but as
it is photo connected and I hope Digikam can help as well I
would appreciate the help of anyone who can. If it is OT the
moderators can remove my post and I will understand. <br>
<br>
I am transferring all my slides (and eventually negatives) to
digital format. I am looking for a one-click solution
(program) that will restore colours back to normal. Many of
the slides have faded and I would like to get them back to
show signs of life. After that I will be able to choose the
more important ones and tweak them. As there are thousands of
slides I really need a simple (even if not accurate) solution.
As I have access to windows as well as to Linux the program
can be a Windows one or a Linux one. <br>
<br>
TIA <br>
