Restore faded photo with colors from prior scan - ebaylus - 09-12-2020

Hi,
  I have some photos that I am scanning to reprint.  They are significantly faded.  I have found LOW res scans of the original photos that look good colorwise.  Is there any way to have GIMP use the color levels form the low res scans to adjust for the faded images I rescan.  I've played with the Auto levels, etc, and unfortunately, this is not my area of expertise.

Thanks!

Gene

That looks exactly like what I am trying to do. Thank you, Blightly.
