OK, got it. I see the red effect along the ear and in the
shadow between nose and mouth. I hadn't seen the effect in other
scans, but they may be there.
Rob Geraghty was right, and incidentaly, this is also a
Provia 100F slide. The other scans I have done which didn't obviously
show the effect were Ektachromes of various types. Gotta look more
closely at them.
