hehe. I tried to think of a fancy word for it. Sometimes simple is better. ;)

More pics! More pics! I wanna see how you made 'em! Not that I'd knock 'em
off perse but I love seeing other's techniques. (toddles back to try and
gleen more from what you've offered so far!)

Man... I can't fathom having enough brick to need motors in a ship.....
other than the micro motor to drive the fiber optics that I (finally!!!)
picked up the other day from the UFO sets.

It may be retro, indeed, but it also strikes me as being very "Spacey" -
kinda like the padded/quilted walls in the corridors of the 'Falcon that we
see in some of the shots in Ep 4 and 5. A nice touch either way. Hmm... I
have 8 bikes..that's.. 16 of those.. bah.. probably not enough to steal the
idea. yet. :)

Bah.. that's what I thought, but one has to hope.. :)
I'm not expert with Photoshop, but when you go under Import, did you make
sure you 'selected' the import device first, then tried to import? Having a
TWAIN scanner, myself, and borrowing a friend's Cam, I had to make sure I
selected the Camera first, before I could import. Other than that, I haven't
a clue. I know that when it does work, the camera's drivers/interface comes
up over PS, then dumps the images into PS for editing.
What's the maximum resolution of the LEGO cam, if you know? I've a cheesy
USB web cam, but it only does 348x220 or something pathetically low like
that. I know there are 640x480 cam's out but I won't pay $50 for one when a
semi decent Digital Cam is only about $150-200 now.
Thanks for the info, though. I may still get the Studio at some point, too..
