first, thanks to everyone for all of the help. it turned out that my desktop software was the problem. my wife got the targa poster printed at the local office depot.

second, i wanted to ask whether anyone else printed the targa poster. for mine, when the poster was enlarged, it revealed a targa photo that was less than ideal. the grill on the rear deck looks like it was painted black and the paint was peeling. it's a small detail that only 1% of the observers would notice, but i am wondering whether anyone else had the same issue.

in the end, it doesn't matter to me. i was just wondering what the rest of the registry members might have encountered.
