Nah, some do not give praise when due, because they don't want you to feel big. Somehow, whatever is done is never quite good enough, and you end up being a hamster in their treadwheel - endlessly trying to get their approval while wearing yourself out in the process. I have been working with Photoshop since this time in 1994, making it ten years I guess - perish the thought. Quite a lot of what I do know I am quite willing to pass onto others for free ..... but some of the things I have found out for myself and use everyday - are nowhere to be found in any book out there. Maybe I should write a book:) William Curwen http://www.william.ws =============================================================== GO TO http://www.prodig.org for ~ GUIDELINES ~ un/SUBSCRIBING ~ ITEMS for SALE
