I'm wondering, though, why you chose b/w (inverse greyscale) for your image color palette ?? White specks (fish/shad) over a white bottom contour are going to be hard to see (if not impossible to see) under certain conditions. Most seem to prefer the brown tones.

I'm running a Lowrance DI ... and after checking out several of its color palettes, settled on the blue gradient. It just seemed easier on the eyes, while still giving a good image.

Thanks for your observations! I'm still playing around with the color palettes, but that makes since now that fish show up white and also the bottom. Will change to the brown and try it out. Another question I have, why is there a bunch of noise (cloudy areas) in some images and not in others? Is that bait fish? Prop wash? Thanks again for the help. I've been reading a bunch on this forum and appreciate any advice!
