Thanks for the advice, I'll see if I can find some time to look at Vuescan again. It was a long time ago but I think my issue was that it may have been applying incorrect gamma curves to each channel, or something like that. Perhaps it related to a film-type setting. Whatever it was, I could just never get the colours right in Photoshop. If I can figure that out it'll make things a lot easier.
