Re: Creating mouseover graphics

Mr. Fusion, 

I suprized you consider that the easiest solution.  For someone working in
mabye an 8pt font, you want them to use the selection and try to select the
insides of a B, invert, fill, flatten...blah, blah. when all the have to do
is simply create the same text in a different color and hide the layer
before saving.  Give it a try.  Time is valuable you know.
