[APML] Another processing challenge



Hi Guys,
           Following on from Matt's LMC. I thought I would throw this one in for anyone who is interested.
 
It is a shot of the Scorpius Milky way taken with a 6x7 Pentax on E200, 200mm lens @f5.6 60 mins - push 1/2 stop.
 
The scan is a monster file so I am posting a small JPG version of it. A pro lab did the scan so I don't know the type of scanner used but I guess it is reasonably good one. 
 
The detail is good but the colours are a bit dull and when I try to bring them up with PS 5 the shot becomes a bit to contrasty and loses it's detail.
 
The file is 587kb and is about 2000x1600 in size.

I only have PS but if someone has some real whizbang software that does the trick, I would love to see the result and know what was done.
 
Many thanks
 
Monte
