A mask would need to be built. It could be done a number of ways, you could open quickmask and draw lines around the edge of the frame using a large diameter brush with hardness set to 0%, holding the shift key will allow you to draw a straight line. Alternately you could use the linear gradient tool to draw the mask. -- Rob Studdert HURSTVILLE AUSTRALIA Tel +61-2-9554-4110 UTC(GMT) +10 Hours [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://picasaweb.google.com/distudio/PESO http://home.swiftdsl.com.au/~distudio//publications/ Pentax user since 1986, PDMLer since 1998 -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
