<p>I tried Imagemagick but found the command line needs too
problematic for me to use for my needs. If there was a GUI way of
using the program, maybe it would be useful to me. Thank all who
tried to help but I still don't have a solution. As I wrote I have
thousands of slides and I really need a simple (one click?)
solution.<br>

<div>I have gone through thousands of slides and negatives
digitally to eliminate the problem of quality decay
especially of the slides. I have 2 scanners, an old Epson
4870 and a new Epson V600 (older is always better, but
slower). I use the software provided by Epson and Vuescan.
The Epson one is less professional,</div>
<div>it has less faithful results to the original but very
good results are obtained. Vuescan is more faithful to the
original but to get good results you need to do some
practice.</div>
<div>On the negative, the thing is more complicated but I
prefer the Epson software because it is much more immediate
and much better than the colors in the case of faded and
dominant originals.</div>

<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>

<blockquote type="cite">Digikam 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>

<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.

TIA <br>
