    Raw images, proper colors for print work are the two that come to the forfront. That doesn't even approach the more advanced stuff in more recent PS versions.

    Ah, okay. Yeah, while I'd _like_ to get a calendar printed eventually (giant, non-moving project list...), not something I've previously looked at.

    Thanks for the examples.

    Well. my first linux was Monkey Linux installed on top of MSDOS.
    That was interesting experience when I turned back to dos and I saw funny filenames tried to pretend being long names.

    Mine was slackware or the one that started with a 'y', I just can't remember it's been so long.... Took days to download the disk images is one memory,
    and hoping that the connection didn't drop in the process....
