Hi Barbara,

I had a programme that came free with my pc about 8 years ago, it was called ulead express. It was easy to use but very limited. I used it on some more up to date photos with reasonable results.
Just recently I downloaded Gimp and it took a while to get used to but there are some useful video tutorials on line that can help. Try searching youtube for gimp.

good luck

Hi again Gadget,

Thanks for your reply and also for the web link to ' Gimp '

I've been giving it all some thought and I've decided to carry on for a while longer with the progs I've got, in the hope that I can do my image experimenting on them, with a view to downloading ' gimp ' at a later date.

Your input has helped me inasmuch as I might have gone & spent quite a bit of money on a new programme, only to find I couldn't cope with it.

I think I'll give myself a bit more time and then try the freebie..

I appreciate your interest.

For  jaytoot.

Hi Jim,

Thanks for your comments.

As I've said to Gadget,I've decided to carry on for a while longer, with the fairly basic programmes I've got until I have more time to take on a different programme like ' gimp '.

It does sound as though it's a bit more complex than those I am I'm using at the moment so I'll try it at a later date.

Cheers and thanks again

Barbara..
