I know what it's like Mick, you were on a roll and got carried away ;)

Personally I think there is more signal there to be processed out and setting the black point lower might possibly help.

Yep, good thing is I'm finding my limitations.

First thing on the agenda is to ditch my freebie Elements v.2 then I can play with the TIFFS again.

Brave man. Good effort! I'm imaging M103 at this moment, I hope it turns out as well.
