But since it is convenient as a separate image in batch mode, i have made an option for it called "108 weapons" in version 2.2 When using interactively, i think it is more useful to have it as a layer, then you can work on it or create other layers by calling the script repeatedly.. lasm ------------------------ Yahoo!
