Looks okay. Could use some bump mapping to raise the imprints slightly so it
isn't absolutely flush with the button surface. Would need to reuse the
image in a normal statement as a bump_map (done like image_map in pigment
was) and make it negative bump_size I guess, otherwise you'll need a
negative color image.

Not sure of how much it matters but maybe something to try.
