Thanks, I've saved your e-mail for future use, but I believe I was able to achieve the same results by layering white|black squares over a canvas of a given color and changing the saturation levels of the layer with the properties frame|tab|doda, what ever you call all the various things hanging around the drawing area.
So not the real question; what is "Hue," "Saturation," and "Luminosity" and how do they effect a color in layman's terms? -------------- Ian Skinner Web Programmer BloodSource www.BloodSource.org Sacramento, CA "C code.
