OK, I'm being picky, and this is usenet, the home of picky ( :-) ), surely unsharp mask is a filter? Or is it an effect? Pete -- http://www.petezilla.co.uk

Or is it an effect? > Good question. In fact, I had an idea that some people refer to it as the "Unsharp Filter", so I checked. The Photoshop CS4 drop-down calls it a mask, but it is in the drop-down for filters. Adobe Press calls it the "Unsharp Mask Filter". Because there is some ambiguity, I deliberately added that I'd used the Unsharp tool in case anyone was thinking the way you do. I wanted to make the point that I did not use the filters in the Filter Gallery. -- Tony Cooper - Orlando, Florida
