OK, I've got it now - that hint&tip was enough to get me started. :-)

Unfortunately, the zodiac ink is proving hard to separate cleanly from the 
drawing ink - they're not ~perfectly~ identical, but they're uncomfortably 
close. :-(

BTW, deconvolve the blue paint from the crossbowman picture and you can 
just about make out a set of buttons on the front of his cloak, one of 
which was (apparently) originally painted red! :-)

This is a cool plugin, Jon: but it's going to take a little while to really 
master the subtleties of deconvolution colour picking... :-o

Cheers, .....Nick Pelling.....
