Well, I don't know what to say. The image looks good here and it looks the way I want it to look. I will recalibrate my monitor at some point in the not too distant future, and tomorrow I'll have a print made of the image and see how close it comes to what's on my screen. In the past the lab has produced results that were VERY close to the image on the screen. If there's a problem here, I'll find out about it soon enough. Thanks for taking the time to describe what you're seeing. I appreciate that very much. And now it's time for a bowl of ice cream and a cookie. Working on that image has given me the "munchies." > > > >http://home.earthlink.net/~my-pics/oldpipe.html
