Hopefully I will get some of you to join me with getting creative with your editing programs for your digital pictures,,and title them, The program I have is a safe free down load,,, paintnet, I want Cindy's program But can't afford that one boohoo
I haven't learned hardly anything yet matter of fact I have barely scratched the surface of it all,, but for starters I took a picture of my rock garden Angel just as the sun was at it's peak right before sundown,,,, after I loaded it on the computer I decided to have fun with it,, this is the original picture,,

I tend to decorate with my program. I use GIMP....it is a free download...I'm not sure how it compares to the one you got for free tho...haven't heard of that one. Anyways, here is a "decorated" photo that I did. The waterfall is one that is near where Stephen's mom lives.

[Linked Image]

I blurred and zoomed and shrank and I think I might have enhanced the coloring a bit too, but I can't remember.

Jenn I almost down loaded gimp! I just couldn't decide which to go with,, I love how you wrote within the picture too,, That is awesome!
CNet has a list of down loads, I read the editor's review and then downloader's view and compare,, Did you use the same program with the your kids' pictures??

Thanks Jimmy!

Cindy, I can never thank you enough for fixing that picture....when I lived with my sister she ruined it by putting it on the fridge in one of those magnet frames. That's my favorite picture of the 2 of us. kissie

I think Bill should make Mystery Guest a Hostess...that way since nobody knows who Mystery Guest is, he/she could jump onto people for stuff and they couldn't blame it on me or Loz or Jiffy! lol neenee

I've been messing around with layers for a while now. Took me a heck of a while to figure it all out. lol

I also did a restoration job on a friends picture....it was pretty bad like mine, and when I fixed it she was overjoyed. I told her a friend of mine had once fixed my picture and I was passing on the good deed. thumbup

I use Serif's free photo program. It's not bad for being free. thumbup

Superfreaky Cindy. haha thumbup

Diane - those last 2 pictures of yours are really cool!
I love the way you perched the bird and fairy on the branches, and all the other clipart as well!

And the one of Cindy - well what can I say? Too cool!!!

I haven't used any of the programs that you do so well with,
but I did like the way this picture came out of a tree 2 autumns ago.
