How to correct purplish cast in old slides?

What is the best technique to correct the purplish cast in old slides that have been scanned?

Thanks to photodrawken and Barbara B. for their suggestions in response to my bare-bones query.  I was referring to slides made 40+ years ago by some independent lab from Eastman 5254 negatives (many of which I cannot locate now).  I decided to take both of your suggestions and see what I could come up with on a purplish slide for which I actually had the negative to serve as a comparison.  Here are the results, for whatever value they might be to others.  I tried several combinations of actions under Enhance, and the best combination was to start with Auto Levels, which was helpful.  Then I applied Auto Color Correction, which helped more.  At this point the offending purple was mostly gone, but the color was somewhat muted.  Then I tried Color Cast (with the eyedropper) and found no noticeable effect.  Next I tried Hue/Saturation and found it to be not much help.  Then I tried Replace Color and found that I need to study up in a tutorial to see how this is supposed be done because I could not readily make anything help the image at this point.  Then I went to Levels and found that the white eye dropper gave a brighter image but actually blew out the highlights, while leaving the color muted.  I cancelled out, started Levels again, and then tweaked the red, blue, and green channels, which gave some additional help to the image.  I could live with this combined improvement, but it still was not as good as the scan of the negative.

  • I have some old slide photo and would like to put them on a disc. How do I do it?

    I have some old slide photos and would like to convert them to a slideshow how do I do it?

    Well...you have some choices. You can take the slides to a photo/camera shop and they can transfer them to a DVD. Or...you can purchase a slide veiwer like I did and while viewing slide, take its picture with a steady mounted digital camera. Then you can load them into you computer and make the slide show and then burn them to a DVD.
    Kinda complicated but it worked for me. My slide viewer was only $29 and blew the slide up to 8"x8".
    There may be a few folks on this forum who will suggest less complicated methods. I hope so.

  • Deleted e-mail keeps comming back some times days old email how to correct this

    Deleted e-Mails keep coming back some are days old how to correct this

    I am having the same problem. Not sure about the original poster, but hre is my situation. Hoping someone can provide assistance. 
    The deleted emails in my Galaxy S5's default email program (envelope with an red @ in the middle) keep returning like a bad case of ___.  I have a Yahoo mail account and I access it from the S5, my Galaxy Note Pro (via AquaMail and Yahoo mail apps) and regular Web Yahoo mail.
    Everything was working fine until Yahoo forced me to change my password last month.  I then had to make several attempts to get my S5 and Note Pro programs to accept the new password, but ultimately all started accessing and syncing again.  Only, if I delete email on the S5, they return in a few minutes.  If I delete them on the Note Pro or regular Yahoo, all works properly and the S5 will sync and update the email inbox to match.
    I tried the suggestion above, but did not see those settings.  When I look at the "incoming" settings, I see am setup as a IMAP server, SSL security, Port 993.  Outgoing is set to SMTP, SSL, Port 465.  I see no other settings that can be changed.     

  • HT204051 iphone5c i often lose wifi connection on 2 phones must reset to open. No other device connection problems just Iphone5  Why? How to correct?

    My two Iphone 5C disconnect from my wireless (wifi) router often.  Usually when changing from LTE network to wifi.  I must reset (turn off and on ) phone to regain wifi network.  All other dervices on wireless work great.  What is causing the problem and how to correct???

    Howdy Old rider,
    Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities.
    If multiple iPhones are having the same issue where ithey are disconnecting from your Wi-Fi network, then I'd like you to please review the settings on your router to ensure they match with the information in the article below.

    I don't know of there is anyone than can fix this age old Apple problem.   Does anyone know how to retrieve apps under an old Apple ID when the email used for that account no longer exists & I can't remember the password? After speaking with Apple Acct. Security, I got the security Q right but my birthday was wrong! They wanted the serial number from my phone that was 3 iPhones ago! Seriously??!!
    Any updated way to work around this? No Apple people can correct it.
    Thanks,

    1. Because it is either the same IP as the new one or hidden by being plugged in as a second router.
    To access it, isolate one computer from the existing network and plug it directly by ethernet to a lan port of the TC. Use the erase function in the TC to remove all the content of the hard disk.
    Then go to the internet tab, connection sharing and select off bridged. You can then reconnect the TC to the network.. and the computer as well. The TC will act as bridged device.. getting IP from the main router and should then appear correctly in Airport utility.
    2. I covered in 1. But you just go in airport utility manual setup. disk, and you will see the erase function. You can also set it to bridge and leave the erase until you put it back in the network.. but be careful you erase the right one.
    3. You can use the old TC via wired or wireless.. although I would always stick to wired connection if possible. Speed on wireless is 10x worse than wired.
    Also note the reliability goes down dramatically after 2 years.. a series 1 3 years old or more is ebay fodder unless you want to repair it. Do not trust vital data to it.. when it dies you will have issues recovering it.
    4. Yes, all apple routers will function as wireless extenders. when you do that the ethernet ports turn off so it becomes a purely wireless device.. strange apple decision on what you want to use your TC for.

  • How to add PDF files into a slides? (Flash 8)

    I am new to flash and I am using Macromedia Flash 8. My task is simple enough: I need create a Presentation with Screens from PDF files: I have 10-12 PDF files which I want convert into flash presentation.
    I have read this tutorial:
    http://w3.id.tue.nl/fileadmin/id/objects/E-Atelier/Phidgets/Software/Flash/fl8_tutorials.p df
    Chapter 11: Basic Tasks: Create a Presentation with Screens.
    I'm having trouble how to add PDF files into a slides: I want insert a whole pdf file as separate slide, without splitting pdf file into separate elements: pictures, text, etc. I tried import pdf file into Flash, wheen import there is shown prompt how program should process this pdf file(add in stage, library, as keyframes, etc) , not clear which option is correct for my task. What I got is pdf file splitted into multiple images, text, - which is not what I want. I want keep PDF files without changes, preserve original design and formatting, just convert this pdf into flash, so presentation will consist of PDFs organized in correct order, then add navigation buttons and some effects. How to solve this task?

    Just to avoid potential confusion... PDF is an Adobe format, but Flash 8 is/was not.  Flash 8 came out before Adobe bought Macromedia.  Even today, I don't believe anything has been done to accomodate direct integration of PDF content in Flash.

  • How to correct journals for non inventory items

    Hi All,
    One of my client by mistake made a non-inventory item as an inventory item and used FIFO valuation.
    Now he has created some 30 purchase invoices, goods receipt PO for it in the last month.
    While doing month end they reconcillation they realized the inventory numbers are bloated and found this problem.
    Now they have cancelled the old item defination and created a new one.
    But the problem is how to correct the journal entries for the what has already been done.
    Problem is that Cost of this item is wrong because it got created as a inventory item and was using FIFO.
    Please suggest a fastest route to correct this problem.
    Regards,
    Divam

    Hi Divam........
    I guess Inventory revaluation is not possible in case of Non Inventory Item. You must take the goods return on GRN basis......

    Just bought Photoshop Elements 13...I'm trying to make a slideshow but can't figure out how to alter duration time that the slide is on the screen.  They presently move from one to another way too quickly...also need a different pan and zoom option.  Where are all the options I had in PS10?  Also...Can I burn this to a DVD?

    The changes have brought improvements but also drawbacks compared with the old slideshow editor.
    The templates are now fairly fixed but I find the “Classic Dark” gives reasonable results with some panning and you can click the audio button and browse you PC for any track. Unfortunately there are only three speed choices linked to the music track. The improvement for most people is that you can now export to your hard drive at 720p or 1080p and upload to sites like YouTube and Vimeo.

  • I have a new ipad.  How do I get to the old apps I had to download them?

    I have a new ipad.  How do I get to the old apps I had to download them?

    Sign out of the App Store, close the App Store app and reboot the iPad, sign in again and then go back and try again.
    Settings>iTunes and App Store. Tap your Apple ID and sign out.
    Close the App Store. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the App Store app and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    Go go back to Settings>iTunes and App Store. Sign in again. Go to the App Store and see if the apps appear for downloading now.

  • On my screen my iChat name shows as my AIM handle, but other people are showing a completely different name. Anyone know how to correct this?

    On my screen my iChat name shows as my AIM handle, but other people are showing a completely different name. Anyone know how to correct this?

    Hi,
    I still have you in my Buddy list.
    Whereas you were showing just plain "Norma"  you are now showing "Norma Howe" in Capital Letters.
    The only way I know to achieve that at my end is to View any Display Name that was set up or Add those "First Name, Last Name" Details to my address Book and list your Screen Name against them.
    IF the AIM Settings Display Name items does not List NORMA HOWE and in fact lists something else the only thing I can think of is another App allows the Display name to be set from there and this is overriding the AIM Setting info.
    I fired up an old version of AIM for Mac (version 4.7 from 2005) on my G4 computer running Leopard.
    This Identifies Buddies that have entered Display Names  (puts them in the Quotes as in "NORMA HOWE")
    In the Preferences of this version of AIM for Mac it has a Sign On tab.
    This has a box to enter how you show up (i.e. the Display Name)  This version hints at adding Capitalisation and Spaces to your Screen Name.
    Actually when I tried to change it to anything this version refused to let me.
    So I changed my regular Name to "Ralph Johns r"
    This however does not change the AIM settings page
    Uploaded with Skitch!
    This would suggest that if the AIM setting page does not have this info then it is an AIM app somewhere.
    Boot Camp and  windows Version ?
    AIM for Mac (Any versions) ?  (I am prettry sure it will be  alter version than mine as the Self Listing shows the changed Name but still lists it as the Screen Name in the info Screen)
    AIM on a Phone or iPad ?

  • How to correctly use ThinkVantage System Update?

    Hello,
    I have ThinkPad E520 for two months and I still don't know how to correctly use System Update. From the beginning I've downloaded and installed all updates, but now I want to do it right. How do you do it? Do you install only updates that you need? Or all updates of program that you use? Or just all updates that System Update offers?
    Here is interesting sentence: "If it's not broken, don't fix it!". So how?
    I don't want to risk and do unnecessary things... But there is a problem with me, that I don't know, which update do I need... So I really need know, how to do it correctly...
    Thank you.

    Do only use System Update if you have problems with a driver or Thinkvantage Tool - feature.
    In my company we never used System update and the laptops are running without any changes (except Windows update) since 5 to 6 years. So i have removed TVSU from all computers.
    System Update is a very excellent tool after a clean install from a Windows CD/DVD to install all Lenovo drivers and tools you want to use. A disadvantage of cyclic updates via System Update is, that parts of old drivers in most cases will be kept because the newer driver will be installed over the old one in most cases, which leads after several updates to an instability of the system.
    Just my private opinion...
