A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

Im about to scan 1000s of old photos, whats a nice bit of software that can quickly enhance a little and correct discoloration ? (alien.top)

Ive seen (i think) theres software that comes with Epson scanners that can do this as they scan but im wondering if this will work with non Epson scanners.

Or if ive already scanned the photos is there a bit of software I can run the photos through that can auto correct the pictures.

Perfection isnt the goal, These are discoloured prints from the 80s and 70s thats turned orange, reversing this to an extent would be great, basic quick and dirty (if you'll excuse the terminology)

Whats your thoughts?

Like others have already said, LightRoom Classic. I do this often where I work, but not often enough to purchase the correct type of scanner. What I do is photograph the photo. I use a 5dsr, EF 135 f/2, extension tubes, lights, etc. I shoot in RAW. Once in LrC, I convert the image to b&w. It is slow, but produces great results.
