 Installation
--------------
+------------
 
 You install it just like any other Ruby gem:
 
     gem install phashion
 
-Phashion is somewhat involved to install as it has a few dependencies.  I've wrapped up those
-dependencies into a custom tarball that is built locally just for this gem so you don't have to
-do anything special.  See the code in `ext/phashion_ext` for more details.
+Phashion is somewhat involved to install as it has a few dependencies. Phashion
+wrapps these dependencies into a custom tarball that is built locally just 
+for this gem so you don't have to do anything special. Look in the 
+`ext/phashion_ext` folder for more details.
+
+Because of this complexity, it is possible the gem install will fail on your 
+platform. Phashion has been tested on:
+
+* Mac OSX 10.6 
+* Mac OSX 10.9
+* Ubuntu 8.04
+* Ubuntu 12.04
 
-Because of this complexity, it is possible the gem install will fail on your platform.  I've tested
-it on Mac OSX 10.6 and Ubuntu 8.04 but please contact me if you have installation problems.
+Please open a [GitHub issue](https://github.com/westonplatter/phashion/issues/) 
+if you have installation problems.
+
+
+Common Error: library not found for -ljpeg
+------------------------------------------
 
 If you have an error upon install, like:
 
     ld: library not found for -ljpeg
 
-you need to install libjpeg.  "brew install libjpeg" or "port install jpeg" on OSX.
+you need to install libjpeg.  If you're on a Mac, you can use 
+[homebrew](http://brew.sh/)  `brew install libjpeg`  or 
+[ports](http://www.macports.org/)  `port install jpeg` .
+
 
 Usage
----------
+-----
 
     require 'phashion'
     img1 = Phashion::Image.new(filename1)
     img2 = Phashion::Image.new(filename2)
     img1.duplicate?(img2)
     --> true
 
+
+Gem uses customized pHash 0.9.6
+-------------------------------
+
+In order to detech duplicate alpha PNGs, the gem uses a custom version of pHash 
+0.9.6. The customization is limited to only these changes, 
+[westonplatter/phash@ff255d2]
+(https://github.com/westonplatter/phash/commit/ff255d2d3f93c841b98923ecbde997027f21ae36). 
+The gem will be moving back to the pHash master branch once it supports 
+detection of alpha PNG file types.
 Testing
-------------
+-------
 
 To run the test suite:
 
-```bash
-bundle
-rake compile
-rake
-```
+    bundle
+    rake compile
+    rake
