Awesome!
Thank you, thank you! I've been trying to find technique for wrapping around images forever. You explained it simply and quickly! I truly appreciate it. I had an image that I wanted text INSIDE and still observe it's edges - because you put me in the right place, I was able to select INVERT to the edges that it detected.
You rock. Thank you for pdf!!
