Kodachrome and color cast removal

Postby NaturalEnquirer » Sat Feb 25, 2012 7:04 pm

I have Epson V750 scanner and am trying to scan Kodachrome sldies. I am using the Kodachrome profile for the Epson scanner included with the software. Should I enable color cast removal when using this profile or is that profile supposed to take care of most of the color cast?

This is a subjective decision based on every single image. The Kodachrome profile should take care of the general blue cast of the film itself, however if the atmosphere of your picture already has a color cast, it is up to you if you want to preserve or remove the color cast.
