I just had a look at the UK price of those training CD's. Man that's double what they are here in Aussie. Check this sites price. https://secure.tryandbyte.com.au/shop/shop354.html AU$99 works out to £41pound  as apposed to the UK sites £79.95

This photo is of my grandfather in his school uniform! Godwin College in Margate. I felt very pleased with my first attempt but I can't put the colour picture back in the frame! Is it possible or should I have coloured the one in the frame?

I have probably not used the techniques correctly but I did feel as though I achieved alot.

Jane

Hi Jane,
     You are off and running. What a great picture. Tom Browns schooldays  springs to mind.
You can put  the photo back in the frame after you have finished colorizing by simply resizing the the picture to fit. This is an easy process. Just let me know when you are ready to resize it and I'll walk you through it.

I'm ready now. I also don't understand why it came out so large on Rootschat. I thought it would come out the same size as the frame.

Jan,
    I haven't forgotten you, I've been a bit busy. I'll do a little tutorial later today on resizing.

Hi Jane,
      Sorry about the delay. It’s been on of those days.

I haven’t got Elements 3 so your tools may be in different places.

Go to measure/resize/image size and check the dimensions of your file. You can copy the file and paste it back into the frame. It will paste onto a new layer so you can push and move it with the move tool.

Try this first, and let me know how you get on.
