I was guilty of trying to capture every little detail in a design, when if fact you really need the important aspects of a design and should digitize to keep the "feeling" of the piece. Sounds artsy-fartsy but I don't know how else to explain it. When I look at a piece, I pick out the key elements that make the design. I digitize those key elements first and see what I have. Only then do I go in and add details where needed. I only add the details that enhance the piece, not every detail does that. =========================================================== The AmayaUsers Mailing List Website: http://www.amayausers.com Discussion Board: http://www.amayausers.com/boards Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.amayausers.com/list ===========================================================
