[QUOTE="Miladoon, post: 6786787, member: 6801438"] I might try and play around with fractal mapper. Tks for the idea. [MENTION=85870]innerdude[/MENTION], Mea Culpa. It was not my intention to strawman your position. I have been using the GIMP for over ten years and photoshop cs5 for about three years.
