Gimp is a free download which quite a few fanciers use and there's adobe photoshop which can be expensive.

Hi deb, the gimp d/l is in the link,it's a program that I have never used,there is also a user manual in the link.

I've just installed it and it seams to work OK. Total d/l 110mb with update.

Hi Lindsay I have downloaded the Gimp editor. I looks like just what I was looking for,loads of features.But I am having problems getting a picture on screen.Normally there is a browse button along the top,with all the featues.I have tried right clicking on the image,which give me the option to edit with Gimp,but just takes me to the Gimp page,without the photo to work on.Is there something simple I am missing ?

Thanks again Deborah Sorry for the long winded Question As a PM would not go through to you

[greenlands]

Sorry Deb,as I said I have never used it and have uninstalled it from my comp.I use photoshop,there might be someone on site that uses it and will help you.If yo get no further with it send me a pm. and I'll come up with something.

I just tried GIMP but its isn't any better than stuff on Photo Bucket!!

All I want to do is Cut the pigeon out of a phoyto and put it on a background. With all these things (photot bucket, GIMP) when you click around the pigeon with the sccisors it doesn't cut it anywhere near how you would like it.

HOW CAN I CUT OUT A PIGEON FROM A PHOTO Neatly???
