BTW, recently some of our fellows pointed me to the Bruce Fraser's article on creativepro.com taking the approach of two-step sharpening. I assume some of more knowledgeable PS users here are more or less familiar with this technique so will probably be able to clarify something for me. Basically

Alex.. You can always increase the font size on your desktop 1600x1200 gives you a much larger area to play with... (increase font size by going to... Settings -> Advanced ->General). Cheers... SD - Original Message - From: "Alex Zabrovsky" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTE

Thanks Anthony, appreciate your help. I have my monitor usually set to 1280x1024, but as I infer from your explanations this cannot be considered as common practice, so the target is under 800x600. However, in terms of colors my graphics card/monitor combo works with 32 bit color definitions. Now,
