Thanks Lynn.  I'm very "green" at this point.  I have a Scan Dual II and 
Epson 860 printer.  I have Photoshop but really haven't scratched the surface 
yet.  I don't have Vuescan and with all due respect, I think at this point it 
would be overload.  The SDII software seems reasonable; no crashes, lockups, 
or glitches.  It seems to work as advertised.  Frankly, out of the box, I am 
very pleased with the combo I have.  The printer is unbelievable for $100.  I 
am not sure if my "giddiness" will wear off as I learn more of the pratfalls 
of scanning/printing.  I am generally very picky and demanding of things I do 
so I often question whether or not it is "good" or not.

The picture was a closeup of a seagull sitting on a red "fire-hydrant" of 
some sort taken on Santa Barbara pier.  The background is one solid shade of 
a very deep, dark blue, which is accurate in color, just faint 
"posterization"?? 

Thanks for your help
