Hi Jon

Thanks very much for your kind offer of help. We don't have Photoshop but as result of the various suggestions we may well look at purchasing this.

In the meantime, pleased to tell all the urgency has passed courtesy of our daughter who has MS everything and has been able completed the task. It was her poem and pic anyway - we were in fact trying to help her because she's visiting and it raised the issue for our own stuff!

Re pixel editing software - apart from Photoshop what others are there please - or is Photoshop the standard? Perhaps we have others and don't know? We only have what came standard with the LCD - Photo Impression.


Gimp need to install X11 on install DvD, but Gimp is GNU free available in many formats the one I would suggest for you is the Photoshop feel version called GimpShop.
