Using Omingraffle for...

[Hywel Thomas]

I'd agree on the page size in pixels.  I tried using Omnigraffle to 
create stills to use as titles for iMovie,  but I couldn't get the 
images or page sizes to be the exact size I needed.   A shame.  I can 
do this in Appleworks,  but drawing in Appleworks is NOT a nice thing 
to do now that I've discovered OG !

Regards,

Hywel
