Hi Christian, Thanks for the comments and the Mustang update :-). Yes, the web pic is a bit oversaturated. I processed it for printing and then just downsized the result and plunked in in my photo net pabe. To get the pop I like from the Epson, I have to oversaturate a bit on the screen. Perhaps I'll redo the web version when I get my computer back up and running. Paul
