Charles: When I first opened Photoshop, I got a message about my monitor settings being defective and that I should rerun the calibration software. I went into the monitor setup assistant and I think I chose a 600X800 resolution. Would I be better off with the higher 1024x768? I haven't done so much as to try to make a collage for a web page assignment for a class, so I cant judge from experience. It seemed like all the print shrank when I chose the higher resolution. At the resolution I have, I've noticed that quotation marks and exclamation marks become a blur or shadow. I'm not sure I calibrated the monitor to my best advantage. Does this suggest a particular adjustment is needed? Concerning fashion sense, I once thought the iBooks were "over-designed" or like the proverbial "purse". Now I think they're cool. However, if I do start to pick up a thing or two about design, I can see the that day will be nigh when I'll be dying for a new PowerBook screen and/or a 22''/23" cinema display. I now realize that it's not just a luxury to have that horizontal screen real estate when working with several windows open and manipulating several palettes. So far, I've got Photoshop loaded on a Dalamtian. That's pushing it! Thanks, Donald
