      Scott - Hey, no fair putting a better picture of a rose in my message stream. Very lovely shot, by the way.

      No worries randy! Its gone. Good luck with the hearts, I really like yours too. Only suggestion would be to try a noise reduction program and it would look truely amazing. Check out the Noiseware Community Edition at www.imagenomic.com/download.aspx (I use this and it gives great results).
