Thanks, Bill and John. I am going to try PSP when I have more time and when I start using my laptop more. (Have to finish up outfitting the free 1960's Shasta 14 footer as a writing studio/retreat!)

In the meantime, I have downloaded and begun to use Serif's PhotoPlus 6. It's obviously enough like PS that there's not too much of a learning curve for the basics which I need to do. Thanks, very much, John, for that review and info.

You guys are all great!
