Thanks for the comment Brian. As for Dreamweaver, I plan to take a
course at the Cambridge Regional College in the Autumn to become a
little more proficient with it.
I realised later that I had Vuescan's "Restore Colours" selected and
that this was giving me the enhanced red in the autofocus scan; it
might also have provided the hot spots that GeeBee noticed.
Deselecting the option made for a decent scan.
