I dare say an individual dye cloud varies in tone as well as shape, if not color as well. There are contaminants you know. There is obviously no way one pixel could represent an individual dye cloud with complete accuracy. One need not be an engineer to understand this:) A more interesting question (to me) would be how many pixels are needed to do the job (per cloud, of course). Then we would know the answer to the question, "how many angels can dance on a pixel describing the head of a needle in the haystack that's lost in the clouds".... <bg> Dave
