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?

    Vuescan, but also I would take the time to listen to some Jason Scott podcasts - he’s one of the digital archivers behind the Internet Archive (among many, many other talents) and has put in a lot of hours into troubleshooting scanning both documents and photos.

    Lightroom classic and Negative Lab Pro.

    I have been using this combo for my own film scans as well as the literally 1000’s of old negatives and slide film from my dad and grandfather. You can batch invert the negatives which saves so much time.

    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.
