I think you are referring to a feature in their drivers, not a separate
installable software. If you scan an image, the preview options include a
checkbox to enable/disable this feature which enhances faded colours etc.

Thanks to all.

Because Epson calls this "Epson Easy Photo Fix (TM) Technology", and has
it in big yellow letters on the box, I was expecting to either find a
separate application for this, or find a button in one of the included
applications labeled "Easy Photo Fix", or similar.

Here's what Epson sent me (which is what I found after I sent off my
note):
========================================================================
Thank you for contacting the Epson Connection.

If you have faded photos or negatives, you can use the Color Restoration
setting in your software to improve the color of your scan. You can
select
this setting in Smart Panel or in EPSON Scan.

Using Smart Panel

1. Open Smart Panel.
2. Select RePrint Photo.
3. Click the Color Restoration icon.

Using EPSON Scan

NOTE: Color Restoration is available in Home and Professional Modes.

1. Start EPSON Scan.
2. Click the Preview button at the bottom of the screen.
3. Then select the Color Restoration checkbox. (If you’re using
Professional Mode, you may need to scroll to the bottom of the screen.)
========================================================================

Thanks again,
Bruce
