A friend of mine, a well-known rail author, has been for years working with
old slides and
converting them to tiff images. Ektachromes do the blue shift thing, but he
has more-or-less
figured out a straightforward process to Photoshopping them back to a very
credible image.

There are several software packages that offer old-photo-repair type
features that do a fine job. Some even get rid of the dirt and scratches. It's
easy to spend hours tweaking old slides.

I remember having to do that a pixel at a time in the early 1990s -- very
time consuming.
