The picture above is a scan from a Kodachrome slide. I scanned my slides at 3600 dpi on a flat bed scanner, then I use photoshop elements to remove the haze and sharpen the contrast. I also find most photos scanned or taken with a digital camera to have too much blue so I cut the blue level about 10 percent. That sometimes makes the yellow too much so using the saturation I cut back the yellow.  Some times I have to increase the saturation for all colors. PSE 20 has a command to automatically remove haze I use it on every picture I work on. If it doesn't improve it, I undo it and use other steps. Send me one of yours and I will see if I can improve it and if I can I will tell you exactly what I did.  I am not a pro by any means but I have been doing this for 25 years now.
