I just looked at your ad and it does state very clearly on the separate stocking ad about the psd file, but I didn't note it on the full ad. Nonetheless, one would think if you are doing animations, etc.--you would have a graphics app that would use layers. Neither of the ones he mentions ahs the layer function, I don't believe. Therefore, he may not understand 'layers' at all. I think this is the root of the problem--the lack of understnding of layers. I would suggest you mention that he download the demo of PSP. ON top of that, alpha channels often are not real understandable by some people if they haven't used them. Since I haven't read your 'readme', I don't know how clear that might be to him. All in all, its quite easy, but he's saying he doesn't have time to learn anything 'new'. Too bad. Diane
