:bigthmb: Excellent....thanks for the details, must give this a go soon.

The Paint Shop Pro members (as well as myself) really appreciate your detail. Nice touch including the link, too.

FYI: I moved your thread to the main Photo-art forum. I try to keep the other forum for "people-type" pics. No big deal...
