I think the reason people are having a problem with this is because they're stuck with the ink/paper analogy. This is *just* an analogy. With light images there's no foreground or background. It isn't white on a black background or black on a white background. It's a white line next to a black line. -- Mark Roberts Photography and writing www.robertstech.com
