Paul-
I was looking for a "warm, warmer, warmest" relationship... With the
speed of the piezo driver... Just wishing the ball in the hole, I
guess.
I'm looking forward to the sepia/neutral VM. I used to say I like
cool prints... After using your set, I see that I really only mean
neutral. While the use for sepia is only ocassional, it is far more
likely to be used than the truly COLD <g>.
You're our hero...
