No worries Don, it was late when I dlid the picture and had been playing
with contrast/brightness because the picture was too dark for my liking. I

Greetings all,
First, after playing around with juice bugs I have got a red spot scud that

affect. I also got a really nice result using Mr Peacock dub. I will be
taking these on a day out in a couple of weeks :)
