John, thanks for your time. I put the question to
http://www.bowfinprintworks.com/FontSpotting.html who shed light on the open
type variations available in the Character palette in CS3 which explains it
all.

But Fred, I have never seen News Groups displaying Rich Text.
And I am using Rich Text since early September 1903.
With Rich Text, fonts sizes can be varied and sentences can be
underlined, which I would sometimes love to do, but here it keep on
being plain text.

I've seen Dave's work before. He's a very accomplished photo painter.
I think he works in Corel's program. His stuff is much, much more
than rendering a photo into a painting-like result by using Photoshop
filters.

Well, you are much older than I thought!
It's probably a setting in your newsclient that renders html and 'rich
text' as plain.
A previous version of Thunderbird allowed one to set the reply according
to the source.
IAE, I don't view the occasional posting with an html tag as an heinous
crime.

I can see the HTML cause I have it set to accept that in IE
but to reply it will warn me before sending to change back to plain text
for this group (it pops a warning box saying approve to send as HTML or
change to plain text)
it is a binary group only plain text allowed

you are very welcome
took me forever to realize there even was a character palette, and find all
the options for type layout in it.
I thought all the text options were up top in the bar, and thought I had to
use Illy or other layout program to get more sophisticated choices, like
spacing kerning
good to know as well>>you can use the transform tool on text without
rasterizing (still editable)

Assuming Photoshop.....
Make sure you're working in 8-bit mode with your B&W image.
Then: Image/Mode/Duotone.
You get the choice of Mono, Duo, Tri or Quadtone in the pop-up window and
you can play with the hue and levels for each.

I think you are right on this one here. I do remember Duotone and similar
features of CS2, but I have only read and seen video tutorial but not tried

I do not have flies so am not certain for sure about scale effects on the

I think you can make text follow a curve if you bend your monitor. But be
carefull screen does not break. Warm it up in microwave first or soak it in
bath to make it soft so it does not break.
Or you can always GOOGLE to learn more.
