Wendy, Sorry to be late bringing up this matter, but in reading your newest version, I remembered a common use of text in a graphic that may need to be considered. That is the copyright symbol and name of the photographer frequently included on web graphics to prevent theft of work ... Most of the train pictures my husband uses as everchanging wallpaper have a copyright of the photographer. If this is separated from the photo, a user could download the photo sans credit, which may not fly well with photographers ...
