Re: New Image Tru 'Nembra 's Pipes 2005-05-03 - By Andi Newton

Thanks for the info, Andrew. That really puts my mind at ease. When I got
the email from the publisher that they couldn't use the image in the
photocopied book, I was afraid CG graphics wouldn't work for any print
publishing. Nice to know that isn't the case, since I'd like to try to get
some of my work published.
Thanks again!
Andi
