You show them 99 average images with one good one and they think you are average, but you through the 99 average ones away and just show them the one good one and they think you are an expert! It has been a maxim I have long held true. Gerry Gerry Walden +44 (0)23 8046 3076 or +44 (0)797 287 7932 www.gwpics.com On 27 Jul 2012, at 14:00, Tina Manley wrote: > Welcome, Erik!
