Nice one - well done! I guess I'll be watching out for you then - planning on going there ourselves (alas behind the ropes...)

This should work fine with CS3. Good luck!

If you're using PS you can click on Image -> Adjustments -> Replace Colour: hold down the shift key & move the pointer across the background, then change the lightness, hue & saturation one by one. It's usually best to do this with a new layer so you can erase any areas from the model you want...

Spyder2Pro is the version I use and it's incredible (on both the Mac & Samsung screens I use). Huuuge difference between the best I could achieve without it. I've not used PrintFIX myself as my printers have their own ICC profiles as part of the install discs but I understand it requires you to...
