I haven't looked at that scan channel-by-channel.
It's not a perfect scan, by any means, but was
meant to show what comes out of this scanner
with zero effort.
If you'd like a higher-res scan of any part of
this image, I'd be happy to email it to you.
I used fairly severe JPG compression, thinking
initially I'd post these images to the list.
I changed my mind and decided to put them up
on the web site instead.
