I had this on my old computer but the disc wouldn't work with the "new toy" so I now stick with Photoshop and Paintshop. I think that Adobe Elements might be worth a look given the reasonable cost. Good luck. My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

Picture it does lots of things-maybe because I use it so much on my XP computer, there's all sorts of excellent features on the programme. Thanks for the advice Rod-great to meet you My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

Why does it all have to be so complicated! I use XP and it suits me fine. There's something new afoot I hear from Microsoft. My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

I have tried some of the effects and it's brilliant. I'm really going to enjoy getting to grips with it because as you say Robert, it is quite a complicated programme!
