Scott, I can't answer your question, because I don't know. I saw the shot and pushed the shutter button and this is what I got. Yes, it is contrasty, which is what I wanted. You've done exactly what I wanted, however, you saw it differently and told me what you saw. Thanks, Bill Ellis wb9cac@comcast.net ----- Original Message ----- From: "T.
