Hi!<br/><br/>Welcome aboard.<br/><br/>However, I am afraid we will not end up coming across each other that often since I am strictly in favor of F/f .<br/><br/>The one thing I wanted to mention is that I would strongly recommend using the GIMP for graphic manipulations. Even if you stick with pixeling your images (as I do as well, only rarely experimenting with gradients (^_^;;), some of the features like layers are quite nifty.<br/><br/>If you are interested in the GIMP, the following is their homepage:<br/><br/>m<a class="postlink" href="http://www.gimp.org/">http://www.gimp.org/</a>m<br/><br/>The GIMP is available for free, so I think it would be worth a try.<br/><br/>Anyhow, have fun here at<span style="font-weight: bold">Eka's Portal</span>.<br/><br/>Deathworks
