Don't forget you're looking at a monitor image, not a print. I think there's a 
skill to making images look exceptionally good on a monitor, but there are just 
too many monitors for it to be worth the effort for me. When it comes to web 
images, the shortest distance between two points works fine. For me, that's a 
photoshop action that sizes and converts in a blink and a half of the eye.

But the real magic, as you know, is in the print. Whether its origins are wet 
or "dry", the print reflects the magic. (In this case magic being about 10 
percent inspiration and 90 percent perspiration. Damn! That sounds familiar. 
<g>)

But then I'm prejudiced, because I make prints. <g>  And while it pains me to 
confess, as good for the soul as it might be, I'm glad so many people don't 
worry so much about making prints and just post to the web. I get to see a lot 
more images that way, and that's got to be a good thing.
