Here's an idea, albeit a stretch. How about a trailer to announce your website on the big screen?
Screen Attractions Custom Trailers
Then, I'll design your logo free of charge and it will coordinate with the film. A trailer will increase direct moviegoer traffic to your website, and you can sell targeted advertising to recover the cost of the trailer. Being a projectionist, it should be a simple matter to strategically place your trailer in the program... or offer a tradeout for the screen time, whatever.
Sorry, couldn't resist blatant plug. Might as well pile everyone's orders on, while we're doing a production run. In fact, if anyone needs a trailer made, let me know. Deadline for materials is 3/31/04. (Best prices going - that's because we make no profit!)

After reading the comments posted here about Photoshop --
I feel that nobody can ever really understand and appreciate everything that can be done with Photoshop any more than anyone could understand and appreciate what can be done with, say, the C Programming language.
In both cases, you have a basic set of simple tools that must be used together in a certain way, and in a certain order, to accomplish whatever ...
Being an expert Photoshop user isn't just a matter of knowing how to use all of the individual little tools, but knowing how to put them together to create desired effects. That's where the real talent is. (Just like writing a cool program is a lot more than know what if, while, and for statements do in C).
The nice thing about Photoshop is there is more than one way to do a lot of things, and different people may approach a problem in different ways. It is complex enough that nobody will ever master it or stop figuring out new tricks and better ways of doing things (just like programmers never stop finding new tricks, etc.).
I'm amazed at some of the things my friends have shown me -- involving using some of the tools in a non-intuitive way to create a cool effect when creating art.
Joe, I tend to agree about the updates. The updates shouldn't cost so much if they're going to come out with a new one every year. One that irked me a few years ago was the 5.0 to 5.5 to 6.0 within a short time period. I didn't upgrade from 5.5 to 6.0 -- I waited for 7.0 to come out before I did.
