And just as I was commenting on the advantages of having a MAC when it comes to viruses, here is a great example of the disadvantages of having one...None of the smaller software companies - such as Coyote, or Elements(I think) make software to work on the MAC. So I cannot download trial software to see if I like it :-< I have not really learned how to use the high end graphic software I have on this computer as it is a huge learning curve (I have Illustrator and GIMP).

As I recall there also exists a program called getright, for windows. Elements is made by Adobe, and is a lesser version of photoshop, so that should be available for mac.

There are several download managers for Windows. Take a look at www.snapfiles.com in their freeware section. BTW, Opera is an internet browser with built in d/l manager, email, IRC and news reader. It used to be commercial but is now freeware.

Just a brag, but it only took me 1 minute 40 seconds to d/l Coyote Stencil Shop from www.download.com.

Now to install it on my XP box and play with it.

I purchased Coyote last year and was happy with the results. Then I bought a new computer with Vista and the old program would not load. I called Coyota and they quickly sent me a Beta test for a n ew version compatible with Vista. It works better then the original and I would recommed it. Make sure you ask about the Vista Revision if you have the Vista platform. (Microsofts Vista replaced XP)
Godd luck and happy cutting.

Default Trouble With Stencil Shop

I know I must be doing something very wrong. I have had Stencil Shop for almost a year. I have yet to make a pattern that I could use. I can't figure out how to make the pattern fit on an 8X10 sheet. It is always smaller. Also the patterns are very pixelated. Any help with this would be appreciated. I enjoy portraits the best, but have so much trouble making any patterns.

Jossef, Why don't you give the people at Coyote a call. I'm sure they will help you. I have Coyote and I find it to be quite easy. I love the fact that I can make a personalized gift in a relatively short amount of time. I have made several using wood with the bark still on for a real rustic unique look. Warping can be a problem but I've dealth with it. If I can get this silly little camera running I will show you pics. Moo
