Gosh, you're absolutely right. While never going to win any 
photographic prizes, I'm sure they are now good enough to bring back 
happy memories to SWMBO. I've printed out 3, 1 each from JPEG, Draw & 
Sprite. I think the Draw is slightly the best, but as my eyes are not 
really up to it I shall let another decide.

In conclusion of this epic, I do not know how sufficiently to thank 
those who have helped solve it. I have been amazed at the number of 
people who have, both on the list and privately, gone to considerable 
effort to help. My most sincere gratitude to you all.
