Wombat is a very knowledgable animal when it comes to photography.
He and I share another forum site where we dabble in showing our photos. Have learnt a lot from him in the last couple of years.
Well done wombat.

I have downloaded a trial version of Paintshop Pro and also Adobe Photoshop to try. Also have very slow internet now as it took me over my limit! Oh well.
Now just have to experiment with them and work out which one will do what i want.

They both do the same thing, make sure you check prices for each product PSP is cheaper.

hi wombat
http://pho.to/editor/

thank you wombat

i appreciat the help
regards
lyn

_wombat_ · Master (of Mischief)

Hi lyn-n-ken,

I have never tried online editors, I prefer more control over my pics, however that site looks ok to me, the only time I would be concerned is if they ask for your email address when it came time to get your edited pic.

If they want your email address then its not free, they may on sell your email address and you will end up getting a lot of spam.

Regards _wombat_
