Hi Tim, Hope you dont mind the photo questions, just a quick one, what are the most common things that cannot be fixed, i.e. out of focus pictures, overexposed etc? cia, cristy ----- Original Message ----- From: Tim Kemp To: cristy Sent: Sunday, December 11, 2005 10:37 PM Subject: Re: [VAROOTS] Fw: copyrights, "Fair Use", and genealogy You can pay that much for Adobe Photoshop, but I have it and don't like or use it, I use Corel's JASC Paintshop Pro when I am on my Windows computer (which I use less and less). Paintshop Pro sells for around $100. Actually a much better program, which is more powerful than either of those, is "the Gimp". the Gimp is available only for Linux, but like most all programs written for Linux, it is better than anything written for Windows and also like most all programs written for Linux, it is FREE!! FREE!! FREE!! With any of them you use it takes much practice and a bit of talent. It's not a case where the program does it for you. You must tell the program what to do along the way.

Actually, about what a really good digital enhancing program to fix/restore old photos or photos that were not photographed well would cost as I have a large ongoing project with my family tree regarding that. A photographer I spoke to online before had told me the one he used cost about 600 bucks or so, very expensive! Thanks, christy cia, cristy
