[alt-photo] Re: to shrink or not to shrink

[Jeremy Moore]

Yeah, let's see how the 3rd layer goes on... also, how large is the
image size? It could be an 8x10 on 10x11 paper or a 2x3 on 10x11 paper
and that would make a difference. I know I can't even get away with a
second coat w/o pre-shrinking at an image size of 12"x12".
