Look at the tool bar at the top where it says "Mode". It can be set
to either saturate or desaturate. The flow (amount of either) can be
set.

Google for "Elements tutorial (tool)" and insert the tool you want to
learn about. Follow the tutorials.

At least PC users are smart enough to do it.

So what you are effectively saying is Mac users are dumb mindless idiots
that are nothing more than appliance operators. At least PC users know how
to get around their system. If you don't know the basic nuts and bolts of
your computer you shouldn't be allowed to use one. How do Mac users fix a
problem, other than upgrading to the next level of proprietary hardware?

Of course, many are, but won't. And a lot aren't smart enough. Mac users
have no edge in the cretin category, nor a very big one in the genius
category.

There's no need for PC users to take a few extra steps to load OS X when
Windows XP does just fine and is much more secure and user friendly.

Just trying to find out what makes the Mac so special and what
differentiates it from a PC? I'm really not seeing a difference here other
than you Mac guys get to pay an overpriced premium on the same hardware.

Never! I wish I were at times.

Rita,
Over the years the headers of your posts have consistently demonstrated
your use of MT-NewsWatcher for Intel Mac.
I understand you have this propensity for making provocative statements
from time to time, mostly with tongue in cheek humor.
You have demonstrated a method of installing and running OSX on a PC
and that is just fine.
Since there is OSX software you prefer to run over Wintel or Linux
versions, the question regarding your venom aimed at Mac users is
puzzling. This especially since there really is no sense of superiority
amongst us "Mac idiots". Many of us use Wintel machines in other
environments, and choose to own & use Macs as our machine of choice for
our own reasons, just as you have chosen to run OSX on a PC. The "sense
of superiority" you claim is a Wintel user perception
You are somewhat hypocritical when it comes to a "sense of
superiority", you make a point of letting us know whenever you have
made your next extravagant upgrade within your 18 month plan, detailing
your purchases and trumpeting the superiority of your current
equipment. (...and I certainly envy your D3x, D3 and vault of Nikkor
lenses, my lowly D300 not withstanding)
Many of us here have always accepted your contributions as humorous and
at time instructional, however with this post you have managed the
intructional and insulting as matched pair.

Also, nowhere in any of the current debate have I noted any of the "Mac
idiots" making claims of Wintel PC idiocy for any present in these NGs
not using Macs or like you, bright enough to run OSX on their PC.

So if you want to continue running OSX on your PC that is fine, even
though you make it obvious, based on your Nikon/Nikkor purchases, the
purchase price of a Mac Pro is well within your means.
Just note that not all of us "mac idiots" are actual idiots, just as
not all of the "Wintel PC idiots" are actual idiots.

And that's all it was, a provocative statement that wasn't meant to be taken
as nothing more than "it can be done" type of post to demonstrate there
really is *NO* difference between the two platforms. The "Mac idiots"
reference wasn't directed at you or anyone in particular, just a cattle prod
to point to show the Mac cult follower they really have no magical Kool Aid.
Trust me; I don't want to upset the duck!!!

Oh, yeah. Sure there is. It's just for certain values of "us". You
may not be in that group, but many are. Boring twits, they are, too.
On both sides.

I don't really understand it, myself. Your stuff on the screen looks

Actually the best way to run OSx on a pc is to buy the $240 dollar USB
dongle.
Including that piece you can build a machine that will be faster than
anything Apple sells at a fraction of the cost.
The operating system wars are over anyway--both Windows and Mac OS whatever
are going the way of Kodachrome.
Most users, sooner rather than later, will do almost everything via a
platform neutral browser using web based applications.

Strange isn't it?

I have issues with almost all evangelists, religious, political,
products, systems, and self aggrandizement.
If it works for me and not someone else, who am I to convince the other
person another tool might have different benefits they might find
useful. My Mac works for me within its limitation just as your PC works
for you within its limitations.
It is like the crowd running to Face Book, Twitter & iPhones, none of
these work for me and I choose not to join those crowds.
...and they will be blessed with my absence.

Apple going to Intel was the last straw. The Apple II and subsequent
run-on-Motorola processor machines were innovative, a shot in the face
to the IBM P.C. and P.C. clone environment. But Intel is one of the
most repellent American companies, widely known for illegal and
unethical business practices. As for Apple's, friend of mine who went
into graphics processing in the 1980s said, "Apple users are a group
of computer-illiterates working on sub-standard machines." Compared to
the dedicated graphics workstations at the time, that was true.
Apple's future now hinges on the iPhone and less and less, the iPod.
In a perfect world, IBM and Motorola would have had the marketing
savvy to keep making and improving processors and in a really perfect
world, the DEC Alpha would still be around. The one bright spot in
the computer world as it is was how AMD's Althon (no longer) dominated
high-end machines for many years against flawed Intel offerings.

Inkjets aren't continuous tone, they use dithering.

Epson printers can be continuous tone for all practical purposes.
Their printers control droplet size and make use of blending to mix
colours on the paper.

Me neither. SeaMonkey + no-ads.pac.

A proxy autoconfig file requires a little bit of code editing ability
to add to its blocking since it's essentially a javascript file with a
function to return a proxy based on a resource's URL, but it will work
with pretty much any browser since Netscape 2.0 and IE3.
