After seeing plenty of images on da web, which a lot were rather completely Red, I have the Blue areas which is also present in a few web images but not many ?

Thanx for the feedback Prokyon, Ross & Mike. It weird how sometimes colours matter, as striving for details can often be found just altering the seperate RGB's & hue's ect :thumbsup:
