Re: [APML] Star Shaping
Hi Matt:
Great article. Although I haven't yet tried applying the technique, you've
given a very clear description and having screen shots helps. The only
problem I ran into was in trying to link to the Rosette entire image ("here"
link just below the right image in the first comparison pair) and Running
Man image link near the end: I get "this page cannot be displayed" messages.
