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 seems 
comparable.

Yup. Looks good to me. My version isn't meant to be definitive in any way, just to illustrate what I was talking about. Yours is likely better.

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.

I just used the ACR within PS neutral dropper.

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.

It's only the stone buildings on the left where it is obvious. But once I'd tried the correction, I thought the greens looked more natural, too.
