    Well I have always sucessfully run Genopal 1.0 without problems but my machine won't run this new version either. I get the same errors Maya does and the program won't run. Luckily I can still use version 1 though I'd love to play around with this new version and see how I can use it with Xara and a couple of other programs I like to use. Also the help video wasn't very helpful I found it hard to follow without audio. Perhaps he should get you to do a video for him

    Any how here are a couple of compositions. The first uses your hard edged breakfast images and the second uses a mug of piping hot chocolate that I created. It's mostly vector except for the steam. You might recognize those wisps Gary

    The handle of my mug was bugging me I just didn't like the way it looked so I studied the hand of the hard edged mug and I made my mugs handle a little more hefty and less noodle like lol. I also adjusted the perspective of the floor to better suit my mugs perspective.

    @ Gare -- Thanks! Have a happy day too!

    @ Frances -- Those look great, and I especially like the changes you made in the last image with the cup and the added texturing for walls and wood! I sure wish I could drink that hot chocolate!

    Played with the beachball background this time, trying different colorations, adding some sand on it and switching the ball & light angle...

    That looks like the moon landscape.
    So, when did you go there, Maya?!
