I thought I would start a thread on Image editing. Some people can afford the big time photo shop stuff...But the open source community has some great options. One is GIMP, Image Manipulation Program. www.gimp.org/ There is lots of plug-ins and other goodies you can add. Gimp has full instructions on their web site and you can install the help files right into the program if you want. I use it all the time for cropping, resizing and other adjustments. But it will do just about anything you want..including getting images from your scanner.
