Hi Tom, Not really an answer to your question (which others have already answered) but, really, taking the idea further. I have seen some very effective interpretive displays where images have been made by drilling holes of various sizes through sheet metal - the effect basically works the same as the old newspaper photos, where the photos are represented on the newspaper by dots of varying sizes - I believe the technical term for this is halftone.
You can get this effect in Photoshop; this webpage gives a brief discussion:<http://designertuts.com/258/newspaper-photo-effect> And here's a commercial example of the perforated metal: <http://www.graepel.ie/index.cfm/page/displayproduct/categoryid/18/productId /3> (Though I think the ones I saw were much better.) Just thought you might find it interesting. Cheers Neil -- Neil R.
