I have a tip for you  (Just to show I AM friendly)   :2funny:

When creating png images the file size can be very large.
This program is GREAT for optimizing pngs and you do not lose any resolution.
It can most times decrease the file size tremendously
http://benhollis.net/software/pnggauntlet/

It is totally Free to use and very simple.   
I HIGHLY recommend it. I use it for all png images I create.
The smalller the file size the faster the image loads.

I laughed at the bit when you said "Just to show I am friendly" But thanks for the tip I will use it on my next few rubbish drawings.

I know a few professional artists and theme designers who use it.
Ive gotten 600k files down to 125k using it... big difference and the only thing that changes is the file size.

p.s.  I do not change any of the options on the top right -   compression strategy and Advanced Options -  I leave them alone.  I do make sure "Preserve Gamma Information" is unchecked.   Other then that its a no brainer.

ahhh cool...   neat picture too.    Ive a photo here someplace of one of my brothers with a monster sized Mahi he caught off the Florida Keys years ago.    Mahi is one of my favorites.    Im land locked here but when we do get near the coast anywhere we always seek out a good seafood place and generally order Mahi.    My husband doesnt like fish that taste fishy so Mahi is a good choice for him.   He generally calls it Mahi Mahi, but in some places they call it dorado and also dolphin fish.  The word "fish" is added as the Mahi is a fish, not a mammel like "Flipper"   (sure ya already knew that)  lol

Last time I dove  (Florida Keys) a black tip scared the bejeepers out of me - we do always have to remember we are in THEIR environment eh
