Below is a scan before we put it into editing. We already removed the dust so you can concentrate just on the colors.
It has not degraded too bad in the last 50 years.
Before editing and cropping the corners:
Below is the after example. We crop the corners carefully trying not to loose any valuable detail or information in the image. It gives it a crisp clean edge. We also put the color back in and it is restored how it was.
Don't see a big difference? That's because there is not much of a difference. We pay attention to even the little details and improvements on every image. When it is your image, the little things matter.
After editing:
Now look at the sample below. This 50+ year old slide. Many slides are starting to fade and are loosing their green and blue colors while retaining most of the reds. You can see the physical slide is red in color if you hold it up to the light. If there are enough green and blue colors left in the physical slide itself, we are able to pull those colors up and tone down the reds making it look better. Here is an example of a slide with little green and blue colors and most if not all of its red colors left:
And here is the slide after cropping and color restoration. Its not perfect and probably does not look like the original image. That's because allot of those colors are just gone. But as you can see, by bringing forward the blue and green colors the image had left, it makes a big difference and looks dramatically better:
