Well, there's the rub. Sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't. I used to think it 
happened when I did too much post-processing (I tend to take normally exposed images 
and add a lot of contrast with curves), but I did very little to this image and it doesn't make 
sense to me that only part of the image shows this pattern (Half of a nude woman...the 
other half looks fine...same tones.).  A previous image was worked up much more and 
printed flawlessly in BO. So anyway, I'm trying the up-res right now and will let you know if 
it helps. Crossing my fingers.
