I'm floored. This macro of yours is turning out to be so much more than 
I thought it would end up as. I was just wondering the other day how 
your macro would handle scattered lumps of snow on a pine tree, for 
example (as I stared out the window at just that). This shows me that it 
very well can do just that. Bravo!! :)

I have two projects now for these macros: my original (a "fake or 
foto"-style thing to try and replicate a cool winter photo I took last 
year around this time), and something like this: 
http://ricoholmes.com/Gallery/Images/Ga_Tower.htm . I was amazed when I 
found it, love it still (it's stayed as my desktop wallpaper longer than 
any image I can remember) and now I says to meself, great scott, I can 
do my own version with Tim Nikias' super nifty macros.

I think this should get included with v4.0. :)
