So unless I get a massive cash injection from somewhere...I will have to stick with the free stuff

    Even down the track if you do decide to switch to photoshop (you would have to go to the full blown version not elemmets).....the stuff you learn in Gimp wont be wasted. It has all the same basic but powerful tools that you will use most in editing photos. Things like levels, curves, layers and layer masks....once you undestand how to use them it wont mater if you use Gimp or Photoshop.

    I was very impressed with the gimp plugin( think it is called ufRAw). The main reason i downloaded it was because the Nikon converter I have doesn't have a "slider" control for adjusting WB it only uses pre-set settings that were complicated to set up. And even though the plugin doesn't actually run inside gimp (its a separate program) once you have you photo the way you want it...you just hit the gimp button in the corner and it opens up gimp with your photo (in TIFF format) ready to edit...too easy

    No problem ...glad I could help
    Thanks BD (again)

    On another note I have just been advised that my notebook, an Acer Travelmate 662LCI can only have 2x512Mb of RAM, so it looks like I'll have to settle for that.

    I gave up on Acrobat long ago. I have been using PDF Factory Pro as my PDF writer since it came out in 199? and have been using Foxit as my reader for some years now.

    I know you believe you understand what you think I wrote, but I'm not sure you realize that what you just read is not what I meant.

    Lord save me from "experts".

    Company (shall remain nameless to protect the guilty) where I ordered 2x1Gb DDR RAM for my Acer Travelmate 662LCi came back to me and advised me (positively) that it would only take 2x512Mb DDR RAM maximum.

    After my first disappointment, I decided to check for myself.

    Acer website states quite clearly that it will take 2048Mb RAM (ie 2x1Gb), guess I need to find a supplier who knows what he is talking about, not one that is a "plucker"!

    Certainly looks better than my effort, especially considering you only had an 800pixel photo to wok with, you got the Black Ti looking more natural. Like the black border as well, is that done in GIMP as well?
