I tried to do from memory, but I'll have to open PS another day and try again. It's exactly that: a wire sphere. I was trying to make a wire globe and put the sheet metal earth map bent around it. Don't remember why, but I was obsessed. Found some tutorials that when combined worked pretty well.

Try Googling Photoshop Tutorial Wire Sphere. There's one out there somewhere I relied on heavily, took a lot of hunting, tho. I can just give you my version sometime. Hafta run, thanks! Made my night in the meantime, think of ways to use the darn thing on a layout, LOL! They're cool, but big and I don't know what to do with them.

i tried it and it worked! Thanks so much.

i have another silly question- someone gave me some plug-in downloads and i intalled them on my hard drive, but how do you install it on photoshop?

Depends on what plug ins they are --some have to be installed, others don't. Try pointing Photoshop at them to see if it recognises them or not. To do that, go to Preferences, Plug Ins and choose a directory. You will have to shut PS down and restart. Then look under filter and see if anything shows up! The shutting down part is a pain in the butt if you are like me and keep each plug in in a separate folder but if you don't (and just have one mega folder that you point PS to) it will take forever and ever and ever for PS to load.

If there's somethin gyou don't wnat to load in PSE or PS when it opens, go into the folder and put a tilde ~ in front of the filename. So something like ~psfilter.8br or ~psbrush.abr, and it won't load. To get it, just change the filename back and restart PS. This keeps things easily accessible, no moving folders around, but speeds up loading.

I use it mostly for PSE since those presets HAVE to be in the system folder, but it comes in handy for PS sometimes too.
