Patrick, ok I've done that now. It is here http://www.flickr.com/photos/ettervor/8618757171/in/photostream All the dark trees/shrubs have big white blotches on the print. Of course, the problem is only on the print, not on the digital file. But as I said, when I print it via odt (OO0 text document) it prints ok. (But I want gallery quality, so can't just say, well, ok then, use OO.)
