LOL, Pascale!!! Oopsy!!! my bad, cutie! I thought you were teasin' me!!!!! my eyes are real blurry and i'm seeing spots and stuff. it's migraine-related. just a little pain in my eyes. not too bad. that's what i was talkin' about in my other thread. i've had this almost every day for 3 weeks. if i don't have pain, i have that eye stuff goin' on. that means a migraine is trying to come on. anyway...guess it's a good thing i'm starting that new medicine tonight! i can't even read straight!! anyway, someone else mentioned something to me about using curves in another image. he did some work on it and emailed it to me and i saw a HUGE difference. i've never used it before, but after i saw what he did with my image, i realized i need to learn about that. i plan to try it tomorrow or Thurs. i'll have to read about how to use that. thanks for the info, Donald. that's great information! hugz pascale!!
