2 - Okay, I will totally understand if you don't want to give up your secret, but I must ask at least... How are you getting the nice crisp horse portrait on the black background without too much haloing??? Are you using the lasso to cut it out, using the extract tool, or layer masking to burn in the back ground??? I've tried to achieve that in the past, but not had such nice crisp results! I will bow to your Photoshop prowess if you are bribable.

4 - I love the format of being able to see and compare all the horses.
Thanks!

5 - AHHH, you and your principles! Well, I was hopeful there was a nice Adobe cheat, but apparently I will just have to wait to buy a fill flash and go au naturale.

6 - Heather,

>>layer masking to burn in the back ground???

Exactly how I do it. Takes a while to do though! Trick is to use a brush with like 50% hardness... Layers are great as you can always back out an error.

9 - Yes Maria.
I already received a few new pictures to add. I just have to figure out where to put them and have time to do it!
I'm not sure how to add multiple pictures of horses. So far I've been adding them to the same page. What do you all think? Seperate pages for seperate photos? One page per horse with many photos?

10 - Hi Todd...

definitely one page per horse with many many photos.
It works easiest (at least for me).

11 - One of the reasons for having seperate pages for each image is that I am thinking about adding a ranking system where people can rank each picture....
Not sure what to do yet...
