Thanks for those Phil, heard of the first one but the second is a new name to me. The Corel Paintshop sounds like something i'd need because of the design tool element.
Something I must ask you though. Barry WS gave me a present of the JASC Paintshop Pro 7 several years ago. I had just committed myself to the Picture It thing so never used it, I still have it here, still boxed and untouched by human hand, is that one any good, and more importantly do you know if it will work with Vista??
Its a very impressive looking box I'll say that much for it
