[DEMUG] De-Photoshopping

[Patricia Sharp]

I did send a package with color copys as well just to make sure. On one hand I am happy to be free of needing to send slides; their former requirement.
Purchasing slide film is a 65 mile turn around, developing takes a week, and my Honeywell Pentax camera is on it;s last legs........... difficult getting a light meter battery that works, the industry is being obsoleted.  I am working with my Nikon digital almost exclusively.  Yes I CAN photograph the arwork load it into Iphoto and get jpegs that way, but it's extra steps!
