B/W is the best solution. No more worries about colour balance. Have done hundreds just like this.

I have no idea if you consider this an improvement or not, but to duplicate it in Photoshop-
Create a Levels Adjustment Layer w/settings:
Red - 157, 1.0, 255
Grn - 0, 0.96, 230
Blu - 85, 1.0, 199
Layer Opacity 100%
Create a curves adjustment layer w/settings:
Red - Input 174, Output 255
Grn - Input 198, Output 255
Blu - Input 201, Output 255
Layer Opacity 40%

Yes much better and thanks for the info. I have been trying in aperture but couldn't it this close. After reading a bunch on this I know I can't duplicate the original pics but if I can get this close its better than nothing. I'm gonna have to break down and get PS do do it though.Thanks again Rick

For some of them I agree with you B/W but some are not as bad as the one I posted. Plus these are not mine they are for my in laws so I'll try my best to fix some and B/W the ones I can't fix. Thanks for you input

Your correct on the Ektachrome. I have about 1500 slides some ekta and some Kodachrome. Both were not stored we'll probably been in the attic for the last 40 years or so. The Kodachrome slides are actually in pretty good shape just dusty and some mold so I will have to clean them as well. The Ektachrome ones are all like the one I posted pretty muck some worst than others. Cool thing is my father in law still has the camera!!!!!!
