Resurecting an old thread.
Thanks Spitfire for that great tutorial.
I'm fiddling with Linux and "The Gimp" right now to achieve the same result I could get with the ( expensive ) Photoshop or ( more affordable ) Paint shop pro.
It looks good so far.
Imho, that post should be sticky somewhere on the forum.
I know, I know, some members are complaining about the invasion of sticky threads

Of course I'll post the results.
