From "The Music Man"..."You gotta know the territory..."

Once you get the hang of them they are great and particularly for portraits...

Glad our 'tips' helped you!

Not using spirals is like having a tool box full of tools and not using half of them because, well, because.  I could not think of a dumb reason not to use them.  It has been a long day...
