Hoof, It looks like the B/W image is the better of the two(2) The shadow on the right side of the nose is still giving me fits. Unfortunately the shadow is what gives the photo depth. I guess it's not that important for what my purposes are. As the photo is looking more and more like a woodcut all the time. I do have and image that is 9" x 7" @ 400dpi. My G-code software doesn't want to handle that on very well though. Orion, Sorry for stepping all over your message. I hope you can get as much from this as I'm getting. Thanks guys. Neil
