The original image came from a BetaSP tape, but it doesn't matter - I see the 
same difference in all material.

I didn't include a composition as all I'm doing is taking an input image and 
the Screen blend node and running it into both inputs, then the result to a 
billboard. If I do the same thing in FCP/Motion (place an image on V1/V2 with 
V2 set to Screen composite mode), the result is considerably different. I don't 
think Quartz is doing it wrong, I just need to figure out what FCP/Motion are 
actually doing...

regards,

Patrick
