By me.  The reason:  The original method worked on some systems but
not others.  I changed it to ModulateImage so that it worked on
several systems that I had access to.  I usually use 16-bit color on
my systems, so that's what I tested with.

Agreed the colors sucked.  Mine have the bright colors for some
objects.  At the time it was either a choice of bad colors for some
objects, or have no image at all.

I'll try the patch to see if it works on my current systems.  If
it's the same as the original method, it's very dependent on the
ImageMagick version, possibly dependent on the colordepth as well.
