Thank you for your contribution. That's a nice font too.

Images 5 and 7 are just the job IMO.

Thank you Ray, she is amazing company and it's a pleasure to be able to devote so much time with her, being retired. It's great to see an animal develop so fast and in such detail. She is a long ...

Anyone in this Forum, who considers themselves a 'retoucher', has developed their own favourite software skills which they have refined over time. Why on earth would they dream of wasting time ...
