I would like a suggestion from someone who uses a photo program. I have one that is about 5 years old but I need a new updated one. Price is not my primary consideration. I know they come with all sorts of Bells and Whistles - I do not care to switch faces on people or put people in the same picture that were not originally there. I want a program that will help me resize pictures, "bring out the best in none to sharp pictures", etc., help me put them in some sort of order. Pictures to me are a fraction of a second of time and place - and I want to preserve them as such (am I making sense?) Thanks to family members no longer with us I have a couple hundred old family picture. In addition I have taken photos of old family homes, cemeteries, etc. I would like to have a program that will help me display them in the best way possible. Any suggestions will be gratefully received. Floreda

Hooooo-boy, I'd like to see that, too!! (I have PaintShopPro 8, and Data-Becker's Perfect Photo Printer... the latter does a good job, but it doesn't transfer the photos to another program) Thanks!

Nancy, normally the images on your computer can be opened by any of the photo editing programs. They all handle the normal image extensions - BMP, JPG, TIF etc. The exception being Paint Shop Pro which can (if the user lets it) create images in its format (extension PSP). The program doesn't have to "transfer" the image from one program to another. In XP images are usually saved within MY DOCUMENTS|MY PICTURES so it is just a matter of "directing" the program you are using at the time to that folder and the image you need. You can "save" images into other folders if you wish. For example, the images I need for my genelaogical records are all saved in a special folder for that specific purpose. Each of my genealogical programs use the images in that one folder. Lance On 4/18/05, Nancy Tollefson <mamat@gvtel.com> wrote: > Hooooo-boy, I'd like to see that, too!!

Hi Floreda & Nancy, I've got an ancient old program that came with my scanner .... that was about 1998, when I was on Win 95. I've recently got a new p.c. with X.P. & the program runs just as well. It's called Ulead Image Pals to Go. It does the lot, resizes, sharpens old pics, has it's own photo album function that you can view thumbnails, (I don't use the photo album ... but it is good), easily transfers pics into Word, Outlook, P.P.S. etc.,& does the bells & whistles as well. It lets you save in many formats. Best of all you don't need a great big, new beaut, p.c. to run the thing. My old girl was 9 years old, & had a 3 Gb hard drive. I should take a leaf from your book Floreda, & get all my old pics scanned & sorted, burned to c.d. + printed as well. One day :) Cheers Carolyn > Hooooo-boy, I'd like to see that, too!!

Hi Floreda Photoshop Elements 3 is a very popular program and I would highly recommend it. You can read about it here. http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshopelwin/main.html A good thing about Photoshop is that there is lots of places to go on the internet if you are having problems. Eve I would like a suggestion from someone who uses a photo program. I have one that is about 5 years old but I need a new updated one. Price is not my primary consideration. I know they come with all sorts of Bells and Whistles - I do not care to switch faces on people or put people in the same picture that were not originally there.
