[Tig] Fwd: suggestions for becoming a colorist

[Rob Lingelbach]

I received the following message today and am forwarding it to the group
with the sender's permission.

David, my short reply is that you read the FAQ on the TIG WIKI at
http://tig.colorist.org/wiki3/index.php/FAQ      and refine your  
questions
a little, they cover a lot of ground that some colorists may not have  
time
to answer completely.

regards
Rob
