RE: Color Problems with IE4

Brian

I can't see your probelm on a Mac or on our Clear crisp NT box, both 32 bit
colour.  But on an old worn out 14" screen your Red/pink haze comes through
on IE 4.01 for Windows 95 at only 16 bit colours.

Now I have had this problem with PS 4.0x with jpegs, especically if you
compress them too much.   But the I have not seen in PS 5.02 if the monitor
is set up for the colour correctly.  PS used to shift a great deal in the
lossing process.

May pay to reduce the image to a Gif anyway, you'll get a cleaner line and
lets face it doesn't have that many colours to need to be a jpeg.

On NN 4.08 Your flaring on the mouseover is causing a microfine dark brown
line.  I think this is a minor blend problem on the flare images. this gives
the impressing of a microfine line.

Also run the brush (with the tan colour) over the edges.  I can see a few
missing pixels of the wrong colour.

on NN 3.03 you have a few problems, remember to put in background colours.

Btw your footer font is okay on win boxes, but remember the Macs its going
to render smaller, This is often a great place to use CSS to get the font
size you really want.
