Correcting old faded photos

Post by thomascompter »

I'm looking for some advice.I've just scanned a bunch of old family photos, and many of the older ones have faded to red.  I am looking for a way with graphic converter to correct that (hopefully in batch mode).  I've looked at Levels, but I don't understand how to use that.  I suspect it will come down to Brightness/Contrast/Hue, but there are SOOO many options, I'm a little lost. So what's the best option for me to do these corrections?Thanks so much.  Thomas.
