"256 shades of each of three colors" and "bits per colour channel per pixel". Those 2 statements clear up a lot of the fog. ;-) I'm still amazed by the outstanding results you folks are getting from the D and Photoshop, I haven't come close yet. Thought I'd better try to understand the "innards" better. Maybe then I'll have a better idea of what PS is doing. And how to plan the desired result from the start. Thanks Guys! Don
