[Fwd: Re: ColorZilla Feedback]

[Alex Latchford]

In my haste I didn't actually test this, it is in fact unsuccessful, if 
anyone else has any ideas please feel free to shout them out, this is an 
issue I have seen in about 4 bug reports now, and I am sure that there 
will be a fix topics in the support forums relating to this too.

Thanks, Alex.
