Ok, since I had nothing better to do, I stitched the other images back together too. I think that my copy now shows just about the same as your original, Mark. But now using the approach that doesn't require hacking the images to pieces. Feel free to copy the files from here for further assessment and perhaps use: http://files.apan.is-a-geek.com/RS3DIC/Athanor/wwwroot/index.html (I can send them in a zip for you if that is more convenient, let me know)
Of course, for things like the highligthed models in the expo, you still need to do some cutting and fine tuning of positions, but I think it will be easier this way regardless. A little suggestion for those: I think that using a file format with transparency support, read PNG, you could use Photoshop or equivalent to use a soft eraser around the edges of the highlighted images. That way they will blend smoothly into the background. I might have made som mistakes in page titles and alternative image texts, you might want to check those in the respective HTML files. Also, I hope that I am correct in assuming that the pages for the "RS-room" and the exhibition of "Rechts" aren't ready yet and that this is why the links are broken. Oh, I admit that I got a bit lazy about the rotated arrows. Of course you can make any number of various rotations of the arrow, just use one of the arrows I used, with transparent background, and rotate that if you want to make the appearance exactly like your original.
