They see in your room in apparent perfect detail. You are a living real time plasma screen for the world. Its good to do a check and go out and look in to make sure your window treatments are really as opaque as you think they are. Its not always obvious.! Set up a dummy or hire some talent from Central Casting. In stagecraft they call these semi transparent curtains which you'd think would be opaque but are not "scrims". And they use layers of them. With lights set up hitting from the front vs. lights hitting from the back making for amazing 3d effects. On 5/29/13 11:24 AM, "Lottermoser George" <imagist3 at mac.com> wrote: > As stated earlier.
