Barb, thanks for mentioning the fell and associated taper.

I don't think it can be done in MSPaint. I might be able to do it in Gimp, I don't own photoshop.

Do you have a rule of thumb for rotating each successive pleat reveal in photoshop, or do you just wing it since you know what you are doing?

I was thinking with a 38" waist and 42" inch hips I would know I have to make 4" go away in say 28 pleats, click click whir, click, click whir, maybe 5 degrees on each sucessive paste up to get a reasonable idea of what the fell would look like?

I bet you just wing it. Thanks anyway for reading my question.
