Thanks Stuart.

I looked at it again this morning with fresh eyes and you are absolutely right.

I think the violet cast came when I used curves on red to try to bring out any H11 areas in the arms.

I have corrected that colour and I think I have it now. This gives me an insight into the fine colour work needed on galaxies. They are quite different to nebulas when processing. Much finer and dimmer and subtle.
