Tried taking slides with a halogen light.(Kaptain Kangaroo box) =

elite chrome 100, all but two had a yellowish cast. Presume I need a =
filter. Any suggestions?

Use Tungsten slide film instead of the elite chrome with the Halogens. Works
for me.
In some areas, slide film is becoming tougher to find and get developed. One
of my slide developers has stopped processing slide film altogether.

That film is an outdoor film. There are blue filters that will adjust color
that you could purchase at a photo shop.... or you could take the photos
outside since that is what the film is designed for. Switching film to
tungsten as previously suggested would be the best answer if you want to
continue to use that particular type of lighting.
Good luck,

Responses to this enquiry have all been correct - now what's the best
way to go?
If you're sticking with the daylight film, then you're shooting with
daylight. Best even lighting outside is either an overcast day or
open shade - not in direct sunlight. Of course then you are
restricted when you can shoot.
Might be helpful to use a polarizer on the lens. If you are using the
meter in the camera, go right up to the pot, fill the frame with the
pot and use that light reading. Manually set the camera to that
reading when you back up to take the shot.
If you want to stick with the studio lighting, then switch film to
tungsten. The best for this is to get the film and lights to have the
same color temperature. Many tungsten films/lamps are 3200=B0K.
