Have you tried using a screen capture tool to place the image in a separate file for comparison with other such images? Windows systems generally support the "snipping tool" (a free download, I think), and there are many other such tools.
For example, I chose a tartan at random from the Dalgliesh Tartan Library (Damson) and snapped the picture below.

It looks small in this post, but if you click on it, it should expand to its original size. Of course, if you find larger pictures you can snap those for an even more refined comparison.
I changed my signature. The old one was too ridiculous.

I have a mac, and I couldn't get it to do that this morning when I played with it. I can get it to sort of work on my iDevice, but it showd the browser bar at the top - which is not ideal.....

That was using Command-Shift-3? If I remember correctly Command-Shift-4 will do the same thing while giving you the option of cropping the image, which you could do easily enough in Preview anyway.

Excellent!! Thanks for the advice! I'll try that when I head home tonight!

If you navigate to ...

there are 33 downloadable snipping tools available from CNET, some of which are designed for use with the mac. Good luck.
