"Feathering"...?
Never heard of that function...what does it do...?

What it does is add anther pixel or two (unless you specify more) to the selection, so that what ever action you're performing on it won't have sharp edges and will "blend" in.

However it is often unwanted when working with small details or very sharp pics and also it leaves edges of the bg color if you want to cut off something.

That's why most programs can disable it and define the width oft he feathering effect.

Get me something about Star Trek and we'll see. A ship or a badge or an emblem, but not William Shatner
Preferably Voyager and TNG (the two newest series), not TOS.
Please?

looking for orders? I've got one for you

if you can find a decent map of Central Europe in the year 1871 that is

the last I used was a bit messy in colors...

and I got bashed for it as well

	Avatar Enlargement: We've got the solution

Siro - thanks! Some colouration might be good, that was just easily found, I figured easy to reduce and ready transparent. I'll use that one for the moment though.

Zopper - it's a Klein Bottle. I has only one surface (ie, the inside is the same as the outside) and is non-orientable (ie, you can't define a consistent direction on it). It's a higher dimensional equivalent of a Möbius strip. In 4 dimensions, it doesn't even self-intersect!

Btw, if you Google for "klein bottle", one of the first few sites sells glass Klein Bottles -

what does self-intersect .... I see... you mean, when in 4 dimensions, it consist of one (hyper-)plane without ever crossing itself... not bad, can you show me a pic of it?

seriously though, if it is possible to show pictures of 3-dimensional objects on a plane, it should also be possible to show 4-dimensional ones... I think you have to eradicate one dimension and replace it with the fourth though... just like a black hole is a cone if you remove the 3rd dimension and replace it with the 4h

(btw, even though I'm perfectly capable of visualising 3D drawings on a 2D surface, I can't for the sake of me, visualize something with 4 dimentions...

Ecthelion, I'm a bit short on time, and for some reason images.google.com is slow.

I'll do it properly tommorow, all I have today is an ugly ugly map.

Glad you liked it kassio!

Gramphos, that's groovy. I'm updating now. I'm not quite sure what colour I do want, or whether multi-coloured might be quite cool. I'm not the artist here - if you have the time, suggest some stuff, and I'll pick what I like best, ok?

This is the last one I have time to do today. I could do more single colored if you like, but doing all them would spam up this thread, so I wait.
