Are you sure it works on other CCDs ??   It may just not be tested
thoroughly on the other CCDs.   I say that because the amount of bleed over
with the Canon is dependant on the highlight area and the color channel.
Sometimes it looks fine and other times not very good.

For example I used a pin and poked three different size holes in a very dark
Provia 400F slide.   The 2 pixel hole showed no charge bleeding, the 10
pixel hole showed medium charge bleeding and the 40 pixel hole showed a far
amount of bleeding.   In all cases, the red seemed to bleed more than the
green which bled more than the blue.  Also the bleed seems to be only in one
direction.

I've attached 1x, 3x and 6x full resolution raw scan files to show what I
mean.  I cropped out the 2 pixel hole since it didn't change with exposure
and I wanted to keep the file sizes to a minimum.

In any case, hopefully Ed can use these to fine tune the algorithm.
