Thanks Rena, I know how some messages get mis-read or just don't come off the way they should. ;-) 2000 dpi! Wow must be a tremendous file (size). I need a new scanner :( Thought I'd get one for the holidays, oh well. I also wish (like the olden days) it was easier to find hi-res images over the net. Thinking, a new section here would be great with a URL database of found hi-res images. Faces, textures and such. I do try to gleen every URL mentioned on the boards, but miss quite a few. Thanks also to those who will appriecieate the mini tut. You just keep giving and giving (this is a very good thing). I myself Use Poser 4, PhotoShop, UVmapper, (Infini-D and Carrara for modeling) to do basicly the same thing. James
