The catch is that each user wants something different, so no set of "quick instructions" will do. Every case is different.

Photographers do not want to make too large images available... Looking at them is one thing, easily printing them well is another... so that's our habit...

Now these are not the photos that I sell, being ancient slides, but their problem is they are not good enough to look at large... MANY years in a hot attic did not do good things to the slides...

I had some slides from 1969 that needed a lot of color-correction. ;)

Yes, colors fade differently. My quality slide film does much better than the cheaper stuff I sometimes used... BUT I use a program with my Nikon Coolscan slide scanner (no longer manufactured, but is still working great after many years) that does amazing color correction. I have no idea how! The product is vuescan. They maintain drivers for popular scanners. Nikon of course stopped making drivers for this scanner many years ago, but vuescan can be used with it.

You can still buy these scanners(used) on ebay, and yes, using vuescan you can use it. It's too bad that people now have to use a flatbed scanner to scan slides at home.

I think also modern flatbed scanner software can do pretty good color correction.
