Matt,

Thanks for the help. I ran identify on both images and I can't see what
would be a problem. The "bad" image has a little higher resolution, but that
is all my untrained eye can see. Would you be willing to look at the two
output files and let me know if you see the problem? I don't think I can
send them via PLUG, but I will try attaching them anyway.

Thanks!

Mark
