Thanks all, for the replies so far...

I've DL'd gimp & photoscape, & have been perusing some online tutorials for the gimp. Though I'm having trouble adjusting to the ball gag......
Also played with photoscape a little, & right out of the box did some conversion to greyscale...nice!
Also, I've been using irfanview for years to resize pics (thanks Boss...)

Keep em comin'...

I'm gonna try to post up some examples in the near future.

Also...whaddy'all think for pic storage?...photobucket the best?
