There's a great deal more wrong with this than 'red shadows'! There are
huge amounts of colour smearing from the red shirt, yellow shorts and blue
shirt. It is as if the scanner has Vaseline over the lens. Fiddle with
the mid tone level slider to increase the contrast in highlight areas
if you want to see this clearly. What model is it?
