Is that in the to-do-list or not-to-do ? Simulate sounds horrible, and results would be that horrible. I think that is the point where one would rather become a real painter using real oils, pastels, brushes ... one would become a sort of digital artsy artist. At last what illustrators do. Bah... if someone likes it go ahead. What I can't get is why some one have to simulate something if other would do it authentically. regards - -- Pablo Kolodny www.pablokolodny.com - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
