I suggest that you have set Vuescan to "White Balance". It it taking the
yellow of the sand (which I guess is the brightest part of the image) and
"neutralising" it to look like a shade of grey (i.e. pure white in the bright
spots). That's what the 0.1% white point is doing.
Change Vuescan so that it is in "Neutral" and re-scan. Or change the white
point to 0.0%. Or, do both! I have this feeling they won't do the same thing
- but I can't test it as I'm away from my PC/scanner/Vuescan.
These darn "auto white balance" algorithms (scanner software and digicams)
just don't seem to understand the difference between large areas of a single
colour and lighting which is causing a colour cast. Can't those boffins work
that one out? Eh???!!!
