Cool I think I got it figured out now. Eccept on some surfaces the layer looks blotchy, and on others it looks great, I'm using jpegs instead of Photshit files, Photoshit 6 files don't seem to work too well, and I don't know how to save Photoshit 2.5 files from 6.01. I'm tryign to gigure out why it looks wierd on certain surfaces though, they are imported objects nad that may have something to do with it. Thanks, I'll be waiting for your book. kaom P.S. you should make some simple tutorials for us to learn by, we could all use it.
