Thanks Squage. I'm glad I know how to do that in PS5 now, since it was one of the very few reasons why I would actually continue to use Photodraw. So tnx again.
CE, which effect? There is a slight black Glow from EyeCandy, and the black scanlines are from the Interlace effect from some freeware plugin. Some form of that effect (usually called Interlacing or Scanlines) is included in quite a few different plugin sets, since apparently that's an easy effect to create a plugin for, so I don't think you should have too much trouble finding it.
