Thanks, Moi!

yeah! You got them right. I checked you links and the flowers and plants there are the very ones i did shoot. It is true that these names are kinda complicated for me to keep in my mind, but i'll try to remember them next time.

Thanks you guys!

Pat, i am actually using a test version of CS4. This software does magic and makes things easy for dummies ( ) like me. When the trial period will run out, i don't know what to do. The thing is just hellish expensive. (upgrade version cost € 300 & full version cost over € 1000.)

Nice shots and pp work. I agree that the prices are sky high. It is hard for me to believe so many have and use the software. Good luck with that Drax
