I normally work in Paintshop Pro, but have been forcing myself to work out how to use Photoshop.....Geesh! Not user friendly, that's for sure. But I imagine it will be worth it when I get a little experience under my belt. -------------------- Erika 10" LX200 Classic, ETX70-AT, DS Maxscope 60mm, 12" Truss Dob, Orion ED80, WO Binoviewers, 10x50's and 7x50's Binoculars, Rebel XT 350 Having Fun in the Sun!
