Thank you sOOoo much :) I am doing the Happy Happy Joy Joy Poser Dance. Hard to type when your fingers are dancing on the keyboard. I loved all the entries and feel we are all winners by entering. Thank you also CrystalWizard for the kind words. Hope everyone has a weekend filled with magical moments. ladynimue

Heynow! I threw my hat in the contest ring as well :) I love your entry CrystalWizard, great use of graphic design. Can hardly wait to see what you come up with as well firefly.

I really like the idea that you can use any media for the contest! Fun to work with photographs and not just Poser for a change :)

Had to say a quick thank you for the link to your site dwmdesigner. Great tutorial on water :) I have bookmarked your site and will check back often for more tutorials. ladynimue

What I found was worse... When I loaded Photoshop7, I clicked the button that asked if I wanted to load all my Photoshop6 plug-ins. Yesterday I noticed that I have plug-in duplicates of several of my most used plug-ins (ie: I have the same plug-in listed twice in the pull-down menu) The crazy part is that it duplicated randomly. I think I can just delete the doppelganger files which will should care of that problem. Hopefully the photoshop6 plug-ins that transfered will not disappear when I finally delete potoshop6, (ie: I hope they are not just shortcuts from photoshop6) I suppose the key word for the day is Back-up my photoshop6 plug-ins folder :)

I love the grain, your artistic talent turned this simple poser image into a photo-realistic work of art!

I've been "playing" with my new Photoshop7 for a week now and I too love ALL of the above features that Alpha mentioned. The new interface took a little bit of getting use to, but the learning curve has been on the rolling hill rather than steep upgrade side. One feature I also like is the spell-check. (I had to take a quick stroll through the "Online Help to figure out where it was located.) As to is it worth the price? Hmmmm that is a loaded Q. I bought 5.5 the day 6.0 came out, and Adobe was kind enough to give me a wonderful price break on 6.0. Photoshop 6.0 was an excellent version, and to be honest if not for the healing brush I would most likely have skipped version 7. With that said however, I would recommend 7 to anyone who is working with photo retouching. The healing brush alone is a great feature!

Sounds like a wonderful concept for a contest :)

Wow, every time I open one of your messages I keep doing the happy happy joy joy poser dance :) I just returned from a visited to your site and the tutorial looks fantastic! Just what I have been looking for, but you knew that :] Can hardly wait to put my new puppy to bed so I can go through the whole tutorial without interruption. Thanks once more for being so thoughtful ladynimue

I recently became a member and I am overly impressed. Well worth the price and more importantly what excellent customer service. :) ladynimue

Excellent job. I just became a member of Poserstyle and love everything about the site. Your textures are fantastic. Hard to pick which one I like best. Texturing is not as easy as it seems, you did great! Can hardly wait to see what you come up with next :)

Baking you a cyber happy b-day cake. What a wonderful gift to us from you on your special day :) I just purchased Carly, Daisy, Lance, and Lotus. The only problem I have had is spending my whole afternoon playing with them. I feel like a kid again who just opened a long-wished-for gift box. Thank you for being so generous and I hope your day was filled with magical moments. ladynimue

Your new site is fantastic. Very nicely designed and best of all easy to navigate. I enjoyed the tutorial using the UV mapper, and "Tuesday's textures" are amazing. It is an honor to have one of my images posted to your gallery :) Only one Q ... Where are the sneak-previews of the "country cottages"??? :) ladynimue

I love all these buildings and eagerly await ironhart's newest creation. (I own three of the four, but they are SoooOOo addicting I am off to the market-place to complete the set.) Not only are the models easy to use, but more importantly he offers excellent customer service. Almost forgot the fantastic price! My imagination is in overdrive dreaming of ways to use the upcoming county cottages :) ladynimue

What a wonderful tribute to ironhart's fantastic creations. I love what you have done with all the buildings genny. Excellent work :)
