After a lot of too-ing and fro-ing, plus an element of magic, I actually found the "Restore" item in the menu! I then tried two scanned slides with Restore. The one I have described already (boy in Napoleon outfit in front of mountain) and another, a field of red poppies with fringing bushes. The former showed little change after trying all variations of Restore, notably that the blue tinge was not lightened and the yellow splashes in the sky stayed there. The poppies, however, did shown an improvement in that the fringing bushes certainly became more green than before. Having no instructions for using Restore, I assume I used in correctly - I suppose there's not much more to be done than ring the changes on the controls? Where does one find the file referred to earlier - photorestore.pdf?
