For anyone interested below is some colour correction xml I have
developed while working on a clip that was too cool. All should feel
free to do with it as they wish.

The text is given with no warranties of any kind. Users use at their own
risk (blah, blah, blah)

It uses wmm2fax.dll which all WMM2 users should have.

It is very basic, only operating on RGB and being simple + and - of the
primary colours.I havent looked at Magenta, cyan etc yet, nor combining
to give complex things like 'warming' or 'cooling' Someone else might
like to consider this.

In using it for my problem, I -(reduced) the colour that was too strong
slightly (Blue)and added the other colours (red and Green). This way I
didnt seem to need to adjust contrast or brightness. Anyone using this
will obviously need to experiment for themselves.

Basically
+ adds 0.05 of the colour
++ adds 0.1
+++ adds 0.2
and - removes in the same ratio.

I have attached some very basic instal instructions.

Instructions for newer users:
1. Copy the text below
2. Paste it into notepad or your favourite text editor.
3. Save the text file as something.xml (eg mycolouradjustments.xml) to
the c:\program files\movie maker\shared\addontfx directory
4. start movie maker
5. Look at the available effects - you should see some new effects
starting with My <colour> correction
