I've been away from my blog for a number of days now and have not had the opportunity to check on comments. As to a better way of making rings, I must confess that the Photoshop Twirl Tool is the quickest and easiest way to create planetary rings that I have found. It takes more work, but rings can be created without the Twirl Tool - use the Gradient Tool instead. Note that there are various alternative approaches to creating rings with the Gradient Tool. The key is a willingness to experiment. Ad Astra, Jim Hello John,

You allude to a better way of making rings. How about a hint? Thanks. John Never noticed that before. You allude to a better way of making rings. How about a hint? Thanks.
