The colours are so nice on slide film. I could tell what film was used just by the colour back in the old days. Fascinating series. Keep it up.

Kodachrome is about the most difficult stock to work with when digitally scanning. It takes a LOT of tweaking for each shot to get usable results. It's definately NOT a mass-production affair.

I always get a bluish cast that you can't see on the slide. Is that what you mean?

Color balance is a be-atch. Saturation and contrast are a PITA as well.
