a correction, folks...
an email from Fabienne reminded me that my tip about Photoshop had little
relevance to the printed image - I had tweaked images for web use.... see
below....
and to anyone out there who seems to think from the various posts about
metric measurements that we (who's that, then - all us Europeans?) want to
change how you measure things in the US - get a grip! It's bad enough
taking responsibility for what happens in our own backyard - I don't think
we're that concerned with your measurement system, to tell the truth....

Hello Richard,
I'm not a graphic artists and usually don't have a choice as to what I have
to do. Some clients must be color blind, I can be sure of that much :D
Ceramics is my bag although I cannot yet do it for a living, working on
it. I'm seek of the computer industry.
Good luck with the exhibition; I understand correctly... you're in it,
right? :)
Cheers,
Fabienne
PS Perhaps you could post the correction to clayart so people don't embark
on a lost cause going from 72 to 300. :)
PPS You only get that Brazilian message when you post. All others don't
get it. :)
