thanks again for the tips - I'll keep on practicing until I get this
That's really what it is...lots of practice and experimenting. LIke I still flat out don't get the whole "layering" thing. Which is why my work lags behind Odanan's, Sparks, etc.
I also note that when I do work on a transparency, the background color I post on can wildly affect the perceived color, as sometimes stuff I thought looked plenty black or white, I'll post on here, and with the dark background be like... what the heck!?!?!?
