    Pick one that you like, Dee, and I'll give it a shot. It should only take a couple of minutes. (I have PhotoShop at work, too, so I can mess around with stuff like that here. I try not to let myself do it too often, though! )

    Actually, I hadn't thought of using an image of a chandelier. That might work out pretty well, you'll have to let us know.

    I did a crystal chandelier, but it was too complex and didn't come out very well, plus the .png file was too big to attach anyhow. I'm going to pick a simpler one and try again.

    OK, try this one -- let's see if the .png file works for a download. If not, I'll turn it into a .zip file.

    NOPE, SORRY -- NOT HAPPY WITH IT YET. I'LL TRY AGAIN IN A MINUTE.

    Thank you for offering to help; either one of these two pics will accomplish the look being sought.

    Allen, I think what I need to do is just close the plan down and concentrate on learning IMAGES. Just need a better step-by-step picture tutorial.

    I promise that I will get it; I have to, what would I do if something happened to any of you? I'd be on my own any how.

    Are you having a one way conversation with yourself and your computer? LOL

    Very nice, Joel.

    Here's the other one I worked on. This is just a jpg because the .png file is just a little bit too big to attach. Let me know if you'd like it and I'll email it to you.

    Nice!
    I'm confused.
    The png file of my chandelier is only about 37 kB. That's relatively small and easy to send/attach.

    Why are my .png files so small and everyone else's so large?

    I don't know why you have a small .png, Joel. Most people want big ones, but I can see the value of a small one.

    (Oops, that questionable humor was also in questionable taste, wasn't it? Are the HomeTalk police going to evict me?!!)

    Let me know if you figure this out. Did you resize your image at all? Maybe it's due to some setting in your photo editing program that's different from usual.

    Even though there is a lot of discussion about "ray trace" there is a significant amount of information on how to work with an image.

    I had seen this post yesterday, but I was only scanning for zip files. This is going into my pdf folder "How De Do Dat". Thanks for making me actually read the whole discussion.
