Hiya Dave, The Gardenhose stuff is not available for Photoshop. Tubes/nozzles/sprays are brushes that paint with images, basically. Very versatile and a lot of fun. There is a plugin for Photoshop called photospray, but it's fairly expensive I think, and I don't know if you can convert tubes or nozzles to that format. If you don't use Photoshop much, Paint shop Pro 6.0 is @ $90, is easier to use, has 90% of the features of Photoshop, including layers and multiple undo. Plus it adds "tubes" which are a godsend. It has some other cool included filters and effects. Head on over to www.jasc.com and download a demo. There are thousands of tubes available for free on the net. The Garden Hose ones are hi-res hi-quality plant images. Tesign is right, you can get samples from the site above. I got it on Ebay, paid $35 for the Jungle 2D (gardenhose 1 & 2) for PSP, $39 for Jungle 2d for Painter and $35 for Jungle 3D (for Painter only). Ummm, well as far as I'mm concerned, the PSP ones are far superior because I can use them! Seriously, tho, in Painter you have far more control over the image placement, rotation, etc. I just never "clicked" with that program. MC and their enigmatic interfaces! I got Painter Classic for $16 I think and Painter 3d for $35, so it's not like I shelled out $300 for Painter 6.0 and hated it. Anyway, check out PSP, you will love it. Hope this helps. Gail
