Hello everyone,
I have a bit of an issue with some recent shots on expired Fuji Astra 100, which turned very pink/purple due to its age and storage.
For those who have scanned film with strong color casts before, have you had any luck with color correction in post? I am using Lightroom and am curious what I can do in terms of color grading and curves to get more natural colors.
I will be rescanning these with a better light source (should arrive this week) but in the meantime, any general advice for correcting strong color casts is helpful.
Original Scan (Fuji Astia)
First attempt at color correction (too warm in mid-tones and highlights, still somewhat pink in shadows)
Reference photo with of same subject and same lighting with correct color (Kodak Vision3 250D)
