DEAR LORIS,
	Another small distinction:  I was taught long ago to differentiate
between "the public" and "your audience".  The public at large are not our
"audience".  Our "audience" ARE specifically that 0.1% of the "public" such
as collectors, photo enthusiasts, gallery owners.  Semantics?  Perhaps but I
feel this is an important distinction.
		CHEERS!

  Process is nothing/null if the artwork sucks, and if the artwork is 
good, then MAYBE it would mean something to %0.1 (at most!) of your 
audience... (Gallery / potential customers / photographic-visual art 
enthusiasts...)

Loris.
