Hi Jason,
sorry but it looks as if I've sent you on a wild goose chase. I did some more
research and recreated the actual images using some of the original scripts and
they look fine. Turns out that the culprit is the RGB to CMYK conversion in
Canvas, which I am using to make the panels for publication. Unfortunately the
publisher only accepts CMYK figures, so it looks as if I need to tackle this
from another angle.
Thanks for your help, glad Pymol is not at fault... (-:
Cheers,
Carsten
