I'll take any and all questions. I wish we could talk face-to-face because I could show you in 30 minutes how to do this type of work. YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE A LEONARDO DAVINCI OR MICHELANGELO
I started getting into backgrounds when I started upgrading a good friend's layout....The Coyote Pass & Northern run by Dick Trotter. Now, he and I have a system of which you will see examples at this site. I have more pics.

 I'm curious as to why my yahoo sign-in seal isn't in evidence on the sign-in page you are directing us to.

 I don't trust this.

And I simply will not signup for yet another "group" or site that wants me to create an account. These things are nothing more than data mining operations and risks to privacy.

Original poster - please post your tutorial to an open web site if you want to make it available to everyone. Your intentions are probably the best but the vehicle is lacking.

Thanks.

Edit: Much better now. Thanks!

Then don't go to that "Pickens Plan" web site about the natural gas idea. I joined it just to see where the natural gas refueling stations were and all 3 E mail accounts on my computer are now getting hammered with spam!!Banged Head [banghead]150/day on my G mail account alone! I think it downloaded a bot on my computer.Dead [xx(]

I love the sun radiating through the clouds that is created here, I thought my clouds looked good until this. Thanks for sharing!
