    By heck Victoria that's one very sharp photo. Looks like your pixilation probs are a thing of the past.
    Is that a hydrangea or what?

    I've noticed some people, I think Marley was one? have their photos in a frame. I think they look much nicer like that. Can someone tell me how you do that? I don't really want to buy any software, is there a free source? :thumb: Cheers

    Are you sure you don't already have some software on your pc for it? I say this because I spent weeks looking for something an idiot ( that'll be me then) could work, was free and could do some good stuff. Then at a suggestion from one of my kids I actually had a browse through my programmes and found one that must have been free when I bought the pc-it's photoimpact and its dead easy to use.



    Maybe a gander at the site "majorgeeks.com" might have something aswell, I get loads of free stuff off there.
