I am digitalizing old 35mm color slides. Some of these are slightly underexposed due to camera failure, while others--I shot into the light so faces are rather dark. Looking at the slide, I can see people's faces; details are clear. However when I scan them in, the photos come out dark. Do you recommend any software to use with a Canon scanner so these photos will be very close to the original slides? Thank you.

Double-click the photo to open it in Preview and then select Tools/Adjust Color
You will then have various tools in the screenshot below that will enable you to alter the brightness, contrast, sharpness and saturation etc. to make quick changes to your picture.
Photos has more controls, found in Images/Show Tools but you may find that Preview is more convenient.
Thank you. I do like that option, but someone told me it was better to have a good scan in the beginning which made the adjustments easier on the "back end" after the scan.
