Thanks. I like your new icon too. It looks great with my color scheme. Is that Buckley? May I steal it? I think I'm going to give the first one I stole from you a make-over, a kind of 'Pimp-my-Icon' treatment.
I have been using the blur brush and the burn and dodge tools extensively. They aren't all that different from their dark room counter parts. Design theory works the same, which is very comforting. And photoshop allows for easy experimentation, especially with colors. I take my time finding the shade I want, just a slight variation can make an image really pop.
I will try your suggestion tomorrow. My next area of experimentation is going to be color gradients. Which is why I need to solve the problem we were talking about at 'Mexico Lindo.' I've been putting off learning how to use masks, but I can already see how useful they are going to be. Maybe I should actually consider reading the manual you gave me. I also want to experiment with various diaphanous effects. But that is for another day.
