A very fair question! The answer is simply that the colours in the print
are
far more natural than those in my newly digitised slide. For example,
in
the print the sky contains grey, rainy looking clouds below a pale,
whitish
background of higher cloud. The digitised slide makes the grey clouds
more
blue, and the background cloud layer has splashes of yellow! A
comparable
change is in the mountain peak below the clouds - formerly a steely grey
colour, it is now quite bluish. The view in this picture is one with
which I
was very familiar, and I am certainly more comfortable with a grey
mountain
than a bluish one!
Are you using the restore.py plug-in? If so, can you enlighten me as to
the
mechanics of adding this to my version of GIMP?
There is lots of useful information to be found in
http://forum.meetthegimp.org/
Might I suggest you have a look there and then, if there is anything
more you would like to know, or discuss, please come back here.

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?
