a4? Why are you doing it at such a enormous size? A width of just 10 or 10.5 inches will print absolutely fine, a4 is overkill for coloring or toning.

Also saying you want an ‘expert’ screen toner is a surefire way to scare a lot of offers away, because they'll think it's being conceited to apply. And on top of that they may think you're conceited if your art doesn't match up to an expert level..

Oops! Perhaps that does sound quite a bit really snobbish. Thanks for catching that! ^^; I think the term I was looking for was ‘well-rounded’. Someone's that been doing it a little bit more than 5 minutes like I have (…and I've failed :P)

…and A4-sized. Isn't that typical letter size, 8 1/2“ x 11”? Or have I been grossly misinformed? I always do everything in that dimension at 300 DPI. :X If I ever want to print something, I want that size available to me because anything smaller looks awful.

However, I do wanna re-size em just so I can post them at a viewable size online. Scrolling to see all the mistakes I make is not very nice. Hence the mask want. >>

A4 isn't an enormous size. it's pretty much the standard letter size in Europe (and many other non-US countries). It's an easy system to work with:

A5 - half of an A4 (ie, fold an A4 page in half shortwise)
A4 - standard, letter
A3 - double A4's size (ie, 2 A4 sheets next to each other) - small poster
A2 - double A3's size (4x A4 size) - large poster
A1 - double A2's size (8x A4 size) - huge poster

I suspect Skullbie is thinking of A3 :]
