Red...Looking at the shots on the LAB site, I believe the colours are distorted because of the scanner settings the web designer used... They appear to have been blown up from a small diagram... Look at all the dirt that surround the letters nn each page... That always happens when you enlarge something... Those scanners pick up and distort everything...Takes hours to clean them up and I'm almost positive that LAB wanted those maps on their site ASAP... When u scan something it comes in as a jpeg...You then transfer the jpeg to Photoshop (or some other editig program), crop out the stuff u don't want and then either blow it up or shrink it down...One adjustment distorts the original works...You then save it as a gif. file... All this shuffling around and the image looses some of it's clarity unless you clean it up before u save it as a gif and that take a hell of a long time... For example that SVB map on my site took about 48 hours to do...It was black and white when I got it and filthy as all 'ell before I cleaned it up...Then look at the Cross Lake map... That was taken from a nice coloured map that I got at the PDAC... The minute I adjusted the size of the cropped image, it got distorted... Hope that makes sense.... ...ed
