Okay, but I still meant what I said.  I've gone through the tutorials in the
documentation.  I get the colors and textures and finishes kind of alright -
but not exactly what I want.  Sometimes I end up exporting the image to GIMP
to "get it right."

Perhaps tutorials on scene design could be an appendix.  Or, the
documentation could include links to scene design site(s).

Thanks again...
