Gaynell has been playing around with some different functions and making Specialized Backgrounds.
She came to me for suggestions and I gave her several. This is one that I really think can be used for many things...
Backgrounds to Composite with and/or leave by themselves, making "X-AFN", etc.

SKELETON FORMULA:
Make a Background on the way into Image Magick. (In the examples, we used Gradient bgs.)
