Hello Kevin and thanks for your help, I did have one open image. Before running the script, I opened an existing .png image (by clicking menus with the mouse). Can you point me to the documentation that shows me how to run a script from the console and step thru it ? I looked all over the online manual, but it just talked about the error console. Cheers!
