I am in the process of scanning some slides taken at "ground level" from the Englischer Garten, Munich and will see what the colour cast is on them, a bit "greener" I hope
Another question which way up should the slide be for best results?
SCANNER
---------- where the "scanner" is
---------- slide (face up or down ?)
---------- light source

There are also dedicated slide scanners, this one works like a slide projector, and by what I have read does a decent job:

Looks about right for a lovely day out in the Swiss Alps. All of first the ones I took in Austria had blue casts to them. The I bought a super UV filter, much better than sold in the UK at the time and they came out much much better.
Is the illumination a hot lamp. This can cause the slide to pop then refocusing would be needed.
But I suspect it is LED, if so they tend to be a very small point source which could tend to be concentrated in the middle. If the latter you may also need to change the wavelenght a bit as I understand LED light is very blue, so trying a UV filter between the LED and the slide might work.

A) Dig out the slide projector from the loft and if its working sort the slides first, I doubt there will be as many to be kept as the time taken to scan them all
B) Dig out the light box from the loft....as above
