Uranus from Saturn?

Does anyone know if Cassini has taken any images of Uranus or Neptune from Saturn? I know that they would have little scientific use but perhaps they have been taken for calibration purposes?

And if such images exist, do they resolve the disk and colour of each ice giant? Thanks!

Another thing to consider is the location of the planets. They are basically on the otherside of The Sun throughout the Saturn mission. Cassini was probably closer to Uranus and Neptune while it was on Earth than it is now.

Galileo did image Uranus, Neptune, Saturn and Titan while orbiting Jupiter
