Thank you Dan Lehman,

This of course should have the 2nd two photos in reverse order, for readier comprehension (of loose → tightened → rotated).

Of course. My mistake. I have edited my posts accordingly.

If you shoot against a white background, it is easy on the toner/ink - in that, the printer will only print the knot structure and not the gray-scale background too.

Oouts ! THAT is a major blow to my black background attitude, indeed !

Not me… However, I respect agent smith s reasoning about printers.
I now shoot my pictures in a blue background, and convert this background to any bachground I wish ( be it white, black, a landscape of the wild, or whatever ), by using the Chroma keying technique. (1) One very simple, user friendly program, where one can do the conversion in two only steps ( 1: Inport (image, the one which is to be converted ), 2: Save (as canvas)), is the (2), freely available in the demo version.
If a reader wiches to have the original, blue background uncompressed pictures, so he can choose a background of his/hers liking, please notify me by e-mail, and I will deliver the pictures in no time.
