Thanks for that, Chris. Just goes to show that I haven't spent my time exploring photo software on the Mac. I've mostly used the facility to take screen capture snapshots (such as Command-Shift-3 for the full-screen shots) which can be helpful to send in for troubleshooting messages, and since I looked into using iChat sessions, I knew these features were there for the video iChat sessions. Also, I confess that all of this knowledge comes from the pre-Leopard days.
