This is quite a complicated area and you would have to investigate it yourself. There is lots of stuff in the literature and the internet about descreening. just go to http://www.google.com and do a search for descreening -- Peter Skarpetis Serendipity Software Pty Ltd 67 Fitzroy Street Surry Hills NSW 2010 Sydney Australia Phone: +612 93321788 Fax: +612 93321766 email: peters@serendipity-software.com.au WWW: http://www.riponce.com
