Re: Oranges and Reds Go Neon

[Arthur Entlich <artistic-1@xxxxxxx>]

I had a very similar problem, specifically with Kodachrome slides, with 
my HP S-20.  The S-10 provided very neutral color balance with 
Kodachrome images, but the exact same image when scanned with the S-20 
created nearly lobster red Caucasian skin tones (as well as other overly 
biased red components).

I tried a lot of methods for correcting the problem post scan, but the 
only one that seemed to work without much swinging of the other colors 
was a slight adjustment of the hue parameter in Photoshop, which seems 
like an odd way to go, quite honestly.

I'm apt to think that the problem is some aspect of Kodachrome dyes/film 
layers outside of the typical visible spectrum, like hidden UV or IR, 
that some scanners either are not adjusting for or are more sensitive 
to. (Could even be the type of coating used on the lenses within the 
scanner??)
