Very amusing, Frances.

I already advertised our new typeface earlier!

You did very, very well with the photo retouching work and nice variations on a theme.

I'm trying this month, and next month, to take the Intimidation Factor out of messing with photography.

Here's a retouching job I absolutely couldn't do with Photoshop. This was about 6 years ago, and PS 7 or whatever, didn't have the zoom level I needed to hit individual pixels sometimes. So I think this is Xara Prime I worked in.

So if I can do this stuff in a 6 year old program—and I'm not an accomplished Xaraist like Ron Duke or others are—I think you should give the new tools a chance with your less-than-perfect photos.
