Well, Rene, let me tell you, Photo Shop had me so confused I just
uninstalled it. I'm glad I didn't put out the bucks to buy it because I
just don't know enough to work the dang thing! All I really want to do is
cut a picture out and be able to paste it or upload it to a different
background. It seems so simple to me and yet here I am, totally inept at
figuring it out. I think I may have it figured out in Microsoft Photo
Editor but I still have to play with it some more.
First I had to figure out how to get all of my pictures back to being JPEG's
and GIFs, because that dang Photo Shop turned them all into "Image Format"
which I couldn't figure out how to get Windows to open them again. Sheesh,
took me about an hour to figure out how to get them all back to what they
originally were. :>)
You can see why I belong to CHAD, right? Even if I'm not posting with
questions, other people's questions and advice have helped me a lot. I'm
determined to eventually figure out this picture thing.
Peggy
