Dear Alfonso
It also appeared slightly pinkish on my PC, both under netscape and in
Photoshop, however a slight adjustment in the colour balance for green and
the colour came out the way you suggested it would.
And having taken and modify hundreds of digital photos especially under a
microscope for two CD roms on Australian shells one produced and one
coming, with four different digital cameras (over a period of several
years) I have learnt all about colour balance etc and the ways the
different cameras and lighting conditions available affected the colour of
the raw images. Not to mention the difference between my computer and my
coauthors computer and his eye sight versus my eye slight and our ability
to distinguish colours even when we are looking at the same specimen under
microscope with the image on the screen next to us. So all I can say is
make it as good as you can with the equipment you have and possible say
best viewed under such and such conditions.
Now back to my DNA.

the way they look under lights, sunlight etc are never exactly the
samescreens deal with colours
and my favourite tools in photoshop are under the levels, colour balance
