Thanks, Mark. Actually, I was going to write you off-line about that programme a couple of weeks ago, then forgot about it. I saw something about "BW-Plus" (maybe an icon or something), then couldn't find it. Searched "B&W", to no avail. Now that I know the name of the programme, I should be able to dig it out and hopefully use it. If I can't figure it out (quite likely), you'll hear from me. ;-) thanks! -frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
