Yep, I did send him your remarks yesterday.

Yes, I did get your email.
I have been trying different things in the graphics program i have-Picture Publisher 8, and in Gimp.
I am getting closer, but still learning with Gimp. I have been playing with the selection tools and the masking tools. Also working in png instead of jpg.
The only problem I am still not getting right is just at the shoreline. They are really high in some places and in other places there is still some noticeable blotching going on, but I have it down to only a pixel or 2 wide.
I am almost sure it is how I am doing the masking settings, ie-feather, soft, normal, hard, or how much to feather....

Back to practicing

I am starting to wonder if it's this ATI card I have.
I have been trying many things, but this is the closest I get.

you ARE using the driver from amd/ati and not auto updates right?

Maybe this info will help, maybe not...
Using the OpenGL 2.0, for me is no biggie (I don't use the Mie stuf for the atmospheres), but I would like to resolve this for others who view my addons.

Thanks,
Tim

The more I look at my attempt, the more I don't like it.
Now that I am not using any feathering at all, my shore lines look so blocky. Not so smooth as the way I was doing it.
Oh well, will try some more stuff.

Tim

I am now more convinced it is my ATI card.
I know, I need a new one
I just tried Cham's new test nebula from this post http://www.shatters.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=16587
This is what I see with the openGL2.0 render path. (pic below)
I guess I will just continue to put the openGL2.0 warning in my readme files for my addons.
