Hi Andy!

Yeah, I spoke to someone who is a bit into imaging and he told me the exact same thing regarding replicating the noise, but I thought I'd just give it a go anyway and see what happens.

That's what I'm here for -- to learn!

I do, I do. If you hop on IRC, I'll send it across. It's approximately 3 MB. Otherwise, email?
