In a few words, diddling is changing a picture someone else made. Usually to help the artist to make his (or her) picture look better. >My dutch-english english-dutch books are a little bit old ( like me >smile smile) and a lot of words are not in the books :-(( but I found >diddle = inpikken grinnn Well, diddling is just that.
