Select pattern (indoor Environments)
Select say bottom of the selection second row up second one in from the right) click OK

Thank you very much - will give those a try sometime

Thank you for the instrucitons - I've never gone into that much detail with the filters, so I'm looking forward to experimenting.

Thank you so much for sharing. It is much appreciated.

Thanks so much for this, i am so looking forward to trying it out, your a star xxx

Thanks so much for the instructions - would never have worked this out for myself! It's now made me want to play about with all those mysterious boxes to see what else can be done. Without your input would not have had made the featured page, which was very exciting. Many thanks :0

Thank you !I worked thru your instructions and found them excellent.
I was having trouble flipping back and forth between my work and this forum and then thought to copy the instructions, make a new large text box layer in DSA and pasted
Then I had the instructions right in front of me.
When I had my glass right I deleted the text layer. I hope that helps some one else
