I admire the moody genre of Retocity and respect the advice regarding brushes. The superior layer blending sounds interesting but is not specific enough to seem compelling. Most of the time I make moody ambiguous works that make the viewer work a bit in a dreamy alpha state to create their own meaning. antevark, I could use the gausian blur on my PS6 if I needed it. The book Flatland calls for a stark 3D presentation in my mind. Grimtwist is as humorous as ever. Sean, I read here that one should not choose jpeg as a PS7 default and that the .01 patch has worked for many.
