Shelleyrae,
Thank you for your help. I am certainly getting somewhere. However, I still have a couple of questions. I dont have Ink Outlines as an option in my Filters. Is that a plugin, or something added later than DI 2006? I used one of the other options instead. Secondly, and I think this is more important, I cant figure how to get to 'Change Advanced Options', so I cant apply the transparency you suggers. Can you help? I really appreciate the time, and I understand that the effects may not be the same as Corel, but I'm kinda learning here, and the software has been great for the major thing I want to do - which is normalize underwater shots - I have some really neat shots of turtles and stingrays, so I would like to try to get more proficient with this software. Again, thanks for your help

Colin
