Hey Bluebro, Eh just Menzerna IP on a Yellow Sonus pad, then FPII on a Sonus Blue pad to finish using the PC.  Was very surprised it only took one or two passes to remove them. Chuffed tho!!

It's a not a big issue, lets face it.  However, heres an average 1280 x 1024 image (yours are 800 x 600) and it's not lacking any shine...at less than 64k! 



All that black jpegs to nothing and the large blocks of red and white should compress well too.

...and it's only 40" high to start with. 

My bonnet had noticable artifacts at ~60k...

The shine seems to be 130k deep!

My pic was 2.4M before I shrunk it to 130K...

Any smaller and you can't see the depth of the shine.
