    Ok, just checking. On my old (uncalibrateable because it wouldn't accept ICC profiles for some reason) laptop it was blue, so I thought maybe my Adobe Gamma calibration (3 more days until I'm home and can use my i1 D2) was really off on this new laptop or something. Good to hear it's how my new laptop shows it, bad to hear it's not the color I want it to be :p

    I can never read the damn thing (well, I know how 255 255 255 and 0 0 0 and 255 0 0 - or any combo of that one with 2 0's and 1 255 - should look, but outside of those I'm lost).

    The watermark reads about R 136-184 G 126 - 192 G 177 - 242 depending on where I measure it,

    Three points

    136, 143, 189 right side of the image

    152, 159, 197

    137, 126, 177

    Marlinspike,
    when your watermark-layer has reduced opacity (or was blended), then don't expect only one measuring result mwink.gif
