Thanks Tim, An online friend whom is a photographer did fix a few for me as you mentioned, he removed someone out of a photo and had to fill in background, looked great, removed a large discoloration on a person, and fixed some rips in a few photos on people. I have a pic or two with rips in the face that I cant fix and I tried using my photo LE program , old program to fix it , did not work so well. I cant always call on him so would like to get a better program and experiment myself. cia, cristy ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tim Kemp" <[email protected]> To: "cristy" <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, December 11, 2005 10:55 PM Subject: Re: [VAROOTS] Fw: copyrights, "Fair Use", and genealogy > Don't mind them at all.
