Re: Projection & Viewing

David Hutchison's comments regarding projection vs. viewer are 
right on the money for me...

Same here.  I have had the same experiences... And the reason for 
these differences is...

I could have not stated this any better!

Thanks David!!!  The accuracy of these comments is only surpassed by
the beauty of your 3-d work, the one I've been privilaged to see in 
the PSA circuits.  You are a great and very experienced stereo 
photographer.  You could have made a valuable member in our small 
email-PSA team.  We'll miss you!
