I'll take a look at Gimp, William. I'm not sure if I tried it the other night or not, it did show up on a lot of the freeware lists. I'm not so much looking for a free one as one that I can figure out how to use. I don't want to put money out ($80 -$100 in the case of Photo Shop) and not be able to figure out how to use the thing! LOL! Thank you!
