Thanks for looking at these.  Skin tones should be correct.  One thing I did 
not appreciate is that some scanning software interacts oddly with Ektar 
leading to such casts.  That is not like the spectral peculiarities of Ektar 
where the blue can go near nuclear in the shadows under some conditions. 
Silverfast does not do that I read.  The scan was actually very nice besides 
that and the lack of correction in my court.

If you just hit the first and go forward, the images can be compared.  I think 
it is fixed.  I flipped back and forth with the Moose version and sems 
comparable.

I used a hue/sat correction layer with red channel---Hue +13, sat -5, lightness 
+4.

Just working on Magenta was not as effective in my hands.

If the modified gets the thumbs up, I'll remove the original.



On the other flower/cottage scene, you are technically correct on the similar 
cast, but the light looks softer in the original and I don't mind it. 

What's wrong with rose colored glasses, Mike
