What kind of colorblindness does it show?  From what I understand
(and I may very well be mistaken in this), there isn't just one
kind of color-blindness (not even one red-green colorblindness).
Is this picture just going to make the image grayscale?  Remove
the red or green channels?  Or does it actually give you the 
option to try out different versions of colorblindness? (That
would be cool.)
