Trial-and-error photography of these images displayed on the screen using the best film-loaded or digital camaras suffers a lot from the over-saturation of local white regions and the white margines of imgview or imgworks, and terrible distorion of the image by the screen.

I realise this is a workaround, but why not have a look at Swiss-PdbViewer
(http://www.expasy.ch/spdbv/)? In combination with POV-Ray
(http://www.povray.org/) it can produce stunning pictures for publication
(including ones showing electron density maps).
Plus, both programs are free, and there are versions for all major
platforms...
Good luck, Luca
