Re: Contest

OK, I have a question about this contest......Do the filters used have to be
written by the person creating the Image, or can I use any FF filters I have in
my collection? The reason I ask is that as of yet, the only filter I have
written is a silly little inverter, and would'nt give me much of an image, LOL.

                                        Thanx,
                                            PaŽiah
