Your blending is getting a little better. You really need to get to know the smudge tool though. You can smudge the edges of your neighbors tile into yours so you don't get a black line, or odd looking edges.
Most people seem to prefer The Gimp (which is completely free) over Paint Shop Pro. You might want to look into that.
This tile is from For Newbies II: The Revenge of the Newbies

Re: blending
Root88,
Thank you for the encouragement.Unless it puts me at a handicap, I am working in Photopaint, it's all that I've got. I do have a copy of Photoshop 5.0 limited edition which came with my digital camera but I haven't found any advantage to it over Photopaint. As often as possible, I like to use whatever visible area of a neighboring tile can be appreciated but frequently, it is nothing more than a whisp of color and at best, only the flavor of it. My participation in the quilt is in earnest and I must appologize for pissing people off if my tile has made their creation a bit more challenging. Sometimes, at risk of being considered an "Island", I feel safest presenting the work independently of all bordering edges where I can safely assume that I won't be cramping another's style... Perhaps there is some truth in the old adage, "You can't teach an old dog new tricks"... Give me the chance to find out! Thank you again, Ed Martin
