But, again, is there a 'rule', if the 2-dim image is width size=x, will height have to be h ?

LOL, I didn't know this was a question:

And, probably, it's a set; that is, if the width is one size, the height must be a corresponding size.

The goal is for the image to come out looking the way you want it, so width and height are adjusted accordingly.  To do that, you can use the preview feature as much as needed.

And, I'm going to find where YOU sweetie told me smileys/pics are LIMITED TO 3.

Okay.

I know your intentions are good, Patti, but since DS Forums is searchable, we don't allow cross-posting and ask that posters choose the board that's best suited for their message.

I am going to respect their desire to keep the story a surprise. Besides, I can't provide a synopsis because I have no idea what the story is.”
 
The episode synopsis was announced 2-13: “After discovering an alien city with ties to his resurrection, Coulson and his team destroyed it before the forces of Hydra could claim its secrets, eliminating the villainous Whitehallin the process. But new threats to the world have arisen, including Skye’s father, Cal, who now seeks retribution against Coulson for stealing his revenge against Whitehall; a disturbing alliance between former S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Ward and Agent 33; the enigmatic Raina, who struggles with her transformation into something inhuman by the alien Obelisk and seeks vengeance; and Skye, who developed mysterious new powers from the Obelisk but whose lack of experience with her new abilities may threaten the safety of those she loves.
 
“Meanwhile, Bobbi and Mack begin the next phase of a plan which seems to have grave repercussions for Coulson and his team, who are unaware that there’s another mysterious force moving against them. And as Hunter is forced to make the biggest choice of his life, Coulson will find his mission threatened by this shocking endgame.
 
“Coulson’s team must deal with the consequences of their war with Hydra as shocking revelations threaten to tear them apart, and Hydra makes a dangerous move that may involve a traitor in S.H.I.E.L.D.’s midst.”
 
Kathryn played Maggie, Josette, Rachel, and Kitty on DS.

SPIDORA also won as “Best Picture” for writer/director Fred Olen Ray.
Set in a bizarre carnival world, the film explores the lives and relationships of the “human freaks” who are the performers and living exhibits in “Dr. Graves’ Museum of the Weird Side Show.”
 
Publicity: “After receiving a series of anonymous love notes, Spidora, a performer in a carnival Side Show, is finally encouraged to meet her secret admirer. But is he real or just an illusion?”
 
SPIDORA’s theatrical release was at the Los Feliz Cinema, Hollywood. 8-29/31-2014.
.
Jerry tells SG: “I am very pleased about it. Fred is going to pick up my award along with his and we will have lunch one day so he can give it to me. I will try to get more details about events and especially a release date for the DVD of SPIDORA.”
 
The LA Independent Film Festival Awards are selected monthly from submitted short films from around the world. The full 1-2015 awards list is available by scrolling down the official website: http://www.laiffawards.com/jan-2015-winners.html

It’s also an “Official Selection” for the Beverly Hills Shorts Festival and the Hollywood Reel Independent Film Festival. Jerry’s been in several of Fred’s films.
 
Jerry also says: 2015 “is starting out great and I hope it stays that way. My late life venture into playwriting has been a good way to channel my creative juices when not performing. I have 4 plays completed now that I am sending to theatres and I have started work on yet another.  No productions lined up yet, but there has been some interest in a couple of them from small theatres around the country.  I will let you know if anything definite comes up.”
 
He stars as the title character in “a macabre mystery.” On 2-8, he told SG: “I just completed another film for Ansel Faraj, called THE LAST CASE OF AUGUST T. HARRISON. It will be ready for viewing in April and it is already scheduled for the H.P. Lovecraft film festival.
