Re: filmscanners: Colour fix problem

["Robert E. Wright" <rew@impulse.net>]

1. use the eyedropper to sample a midtone that contains the color cast
     (I used a point on the MIG's fuselage between the wing and the number)
2. fill a new layer with the sampled color and invert the layer
(image>adjust>invert)
3. change the layers blend mode to 'color' and reduce opacity to suit (~50%)
