Dave ========== Yes, no prob. The stickers don't matter, just the optical reader (or whatever one calls it) on the inside in the middle. As long as the room you were doing it in was as completely dark as possible. I now have an LCD monitor, but when I was using my CRT (still have it), I thought it left me with a slight red cast. It may be my eyes :-), but the Adobe color space seems to have more red in it than I personally like on screen. (Sometimes I'd tone it down and sometimes I wouldn't.) Interestingly, I am getting the best prints by using NO color management (with Adobe or Epson). The prints match my screen most closely, which is what I want. I use the Epson paper profiles, naturally, and in the advanced part of the Epson printing dialog, I choose sRBG as input which matches it to the screen input. Ergo, my prints are now coming out closer to the screen than ever before. This, BTW, is directly contradictory to what most people will tell you. But good screen calibration first does help so that the input is as correct as you can get it -- and getting the gamma right is important. (Waiting to see if G. or someone jumps all over me, but I never liked the look of the Adobe color space when I was editing photos -- it has always looked too red to me.)
