I sometimes clone things over to another layer to apply some tool to myself. I also wrote an action (which I really need to port over to CS5) that created a layer that was the difference between two layers -- so I could apply a tool to a full layer copy, then apply this action to abstract just the changes and keep only them. (Some tools make such overall changes that there's no point, of course; luckily many of them, like curves, are available as adjustment layers.) -- David Dyer-Bennet, dd-b@xxxxxxxx; http://dd-b.net/ Snapshots: http://dd-b.net/dd-b/SnapshotAlbum/data/ Photos: http://dd-b.net/photography/gallery/ Dragaera: http://dragaera.info
