Good images, Anthony.

May I ask what "monitor compensation" is and how I can find this switch
inside of PS v6? I've tried a SEARCH and came up empty. Sorry, but I use
Paint Shop Pro more than PS and the latter's still something of a mystery
to me except for the obvious functions.

Thanks for sharing those pics.
