thanks bud - this should help me! :thumbs:

I'll dig into some of this stuff when I get a chance.

Here's a quick favor to ask - as this happens, I'm sure some of this stuff will be Photoshop specific (brushes, etc) versus just a standard image that coudl be used by anyone - anyway we can get a red "PS" next to those or something (like you do in the Q4 thread) just so it's clear?

Thanks again!

Most all of this stuff works with Photoshop, Paintshop Pro, Fireworks, etc .... I'll look into that program (Gimp) that you mentioned you had been using and see if they work with it or what all does.

u should pin this topic

Ooops, I forgot to :o
