Katherine,

I appreciate that, and I am sure MANY have appreciated that very much. That
particular example (I forgot now whether you listed numbers but described the
numbers in the K channel) was particularly great for anyone wanting to learn a
little more get some feel on Photoshop separation.

I have a feeling that we were not disagreeing on ONE thing, but we looked
disagreeing because we were talking about different things! But this thread
actually shows that it is good when people can clarify more and describe more
because like right now, I think it is very very clear what particulars and
details that we are talking about.

But as I said, maybe it was only I who was unclear. If so, I apologise again.
I hope neither you or the list will be upset because a person is unclear about
the topic under discussion. :)

Dave
