The problem was not with faded film dyes but with the use of a wrong film (daylight slides) with artificial light. Setting VueScan's Color|Color balance to White balance solves this.

Ed, does this make the Fluorescent colour option in Vuescan obsolete? The fluorescent option has never been especially useful - it just applies a fixed ratio to try to compensate for typical fluorescent light colors (i.e. greenish light). It doesn't adjust for faded film dyes, which is what I'm assuming the problem is with the slides you're scanning. If the film dyes aren't faded, just set Color|Color balance to White balance. And while I'm asking - at some point in the past you said that the Autolevels option in the colour settings was broken - is it still broken? No, it works fine. Regards, Ed Hamrick

Which is certainly handy if photos have been taken under those light conditions. It doesn't adjust for faded film dyes, which is what I'm assuming the problem is with the slides you're scanning. Someone else was talking about photos which had a green colour cast from existing light, which sounded like it was fluorescent light. If the film dyes aren't faded, just set Color|Color balance to White balance. So the fluorescent setting in the colour options isn't really needed? [Autolevels] No, it works fine. Cool. Thanks!
