Hi = Jim,

If you're a member of lynda.com here's = a link to my puppet starch tool=20 video, it might help. Incidentally, I find that playing around with the=20= position and extent settings can help when they cause problems.

Thanks, Gary, that did = the trick. Just adding more Puppet Pins that don't animate held the head=20= in place just fine.

I watched three tutorials about the Puppet=20 Tool today, and two of them glossed over the Starch Tool. In one (the=20= Richard Harrington video on Adobe TV), the guy added several Starch=20 Pins, and then a few more, and the layer section containing them was=20 still moving around.
