Thank you so much Kate! I'm trying new things at Photoshop and this doesn't seem to be very difficult ;)

Oh, another thing, do you know where I can get Friends screencaps? I've only found some Ross/Rachel caps but their quality is horrible.
Kate[info]pureskies on January 5th, 2007 04:14 am (UTC)
My pleasure! It is really easy! I hope you get a good result!

Oh sure! Friends Cafe Gallery has caps of all 10 seasons! Hope that helps! :D
