GIP and thankyou
All my fiddling with PSP XI last night has led to this: my first icon not made by the eljay generator! It's a long way yet from being a work of art, only consisting of two layers, but I think I've got more of an idea of the possibilities now.
A huge thankyou goes to
elsaf, without whose helpful hints I'd probably still be wondering where to start, and
refche, and
bogwitch, and
sabrinanymph who have all offered of their time and expertise. I'll carry on with this version of PSP for the full trial period, then perhaps revert back to The GIMP which I failed to understand before, but which I now see is not so different after all.
