Dave,
What are you doing here? I figured you'd be too busy playing with your laser to visit us here! B-)

This discussion made a bell go off in my head. I use Corel Paint so I will make it generic.
I often need to do oval or square fades to bring into Draw and it takes a little bit of time to set up the shapes exactly in the Paint program. I just tried this and it is a real time saver.
Set up a new picture in Paint about 6" tall by 4" wide, 300 DPI is what I used. You can do it in grayscale to conserve size.
Drag an oval mask and then feather. Use 'Invert Mask' , or whatever it is called in your program. Save the drawing just like that. You can also paint that area black if you will later need to invert the image.
Open your drawing with the picture in it in Draw, or what you use. Import that saved picture, it will go in the top layer. Drag it over the picture and touch up the shape as needed.
A perfect easy fade effect is achieved. Really fast also.

Hi,
there is some different ways you can do it in Photoshop and here is another way that I'm going to show you and because of lock of words on how to explain it to you I create a video if it is to fast please use the video controls to pause here is the link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jw0exVrZfFk
PS: I edit it to change the link of the video. I upload to "You Tube" video, the video is very small but I think is better than nothing

You're "The Bomb."
I don't know how to say that in Spanish though. :-)
Thank you very much.

Jeanette, I have to take a break once in a while. But I am certainly having fun with it. :D
BTW, I bought a replacement lens like I mentioned, and it did up the power of the laser a bit. No idea what the previous owner had been doing that "frosted" part of the old lens.
I think it was $108 well spent.

It may be too late. I have it, on good authority, that my post was forwarded to the Dept. of Homeland Security. :-)
