Hi Huw! Glad to see you made it Sydney and back into the swing of things :-)

Having seen the originals (most of which still reside on my harddisk for

Nobel Prize for Photo Retouching, I hereby declare you the Supreme
Unsurpassed Enlightened Übermeister of PhotoShop :-))

You know what they say, as soon as they make something idiot proof, someone
will invent a better idiot :-)

Better than my first ones, that's for sure. Nobody, not even the combined
PhotoShop programming team, could have gotten anything out of them that
anyone but a diver would have recognized as underwater scenery.
