Windows Has Encountered A Problem.
I was inspired to do this shot when working on another photo in Photoshop tonight. I kept getting the warning that Windows had encountered a problem and had to close down. Well, after trying to get a restore point happening three times and failing, I re-installed Photoshop. Then opened the pic I had now worked on and lost twice only to get the same bloody warning. Well, all is sorted now. Seems it was a fault in the photo I was working on coz this one got a heap of stuff done to it and YIPPIE, NO MORE WARNINGS.
