Yes, I know it's not perfect, but I think it's fairly good, esp. if there is no
original.. I don't have the time to tweak it here, you could if you like, but
noone is forcing you. :-)
(see below for the shading question.)

I think it's because there is no gamma-correction done on that. I think the
gamma is based on the colour of the image, no? and that is the difference.
