Thank you! The only book I have to go by is the Carrara Studio 3 Handbook, and this apparently came after. I guess there is a CS 5 Handbook, but I haven't been able to get it. Many tutorials seem to assume you already know what you're doing.

Do you know how to scale the images to fit the grid? Zoom affects the grid, and scale doesn't affect the image. The manual itself doesn't even touch this stuff.
