Another try here, just in case there is any one out there I have found that lightening the image improves the outcome a lot

Tried the pumpkin in Paint Shop Pro 9 also. Passable, but probably not as good as the software.

Yeah, Camp Ratty at one time had a lot of PSP stuff on it. I don't know what is there now. Two editions of PSP have come out since I went to the site.

And what I did was nowhere near as complicated as the instructions the person on Ratty posted.
