[FM Discuss] Effective Use of Adobe Software

[xtine]

Ha, most definitely true about the code.

There must be a way to fake the header info - maybe just open the  
files after the fact in Photoshop (or wherever), make some kind of  
minor change and save it? Do they actually record key strokes or just  
the fact that the thing was at one point opened in an Adobe program  
and some change was made?

It's probably not terribly important, but it sure would be super if  
someone won their contest without actually using their products (for  
50% or whatever).
