Yes, you can use Paint Shop Pro for text. Click on "Help" and go to the "Index" and scroll down until you see "Text" and start reading. PSP has an excellent Help section where you can learn about layers, watermarks, resize, crop, photo enhancement...just about anything you want to do with a photograph, you can do with PSP. Good luck - Kathy

Owbist, I had nooo idea it was called "stitching" --- no wonder I wasn't finding any information! LOL Oh my gosh, Thank you sooo much!!! Mikie, My camera is a 3 year old Kodak Easy Share with basics. I was looking last night at some newer cameras and boy, have they come a long way in just three years! I went to the SourceForge link and the program sounds so easy but I also browsed around at other programs that were there and oh my, I could use a few of them also. lol Thank you so much for that link! CBoy, I will follow your instructions to the letter. They were clear and I understood them. For me, that was step one --- understanding the instructions. LOL Thank you so very much! IowaGirl2006, Wow, no way I would have known those were separate photos --what a great job you do! Thank you so very much for going through the trouble of checking your older version of DIP -- your instructions are perfect! I love my DP9 and I ordered the Anniversary Edition last month because I was informed the Anniversary Ed is the last one and only one that will work on my Vista machine (whenever it gets done). Right now I am playing musical computers --- sons', husband's, daughters'-- but can hardly wait for the machine with Vista to get here so I can load my Anniversary Edition DP. Love the DP program! I know it will take practice to get anywhere near as good as you but just the little I've learned from playing around on my own has helped me and others around me so much with all our photos. The most requested? "Can you remove this huge zit on my face?" Right now I only have DP on this computer (son's) so I wanted to try and practice doing the 'stitching' (what a neat word for it! lol) for a couple days before the music stops and I have to find another chair...errr....I mean, computer without the DP. You guys are the greatest -- Thank you all so very much! I bet you all know what I'll be doing all night long, huh? -- Practice stitching my little heart out. LOL

Well I've heard CD's, DVD's and External Drives...HAve done the cd's, as of yet I need to transfer to external drive thats been sitting here...I lost a bunch of pics on another computer so I must say to use the easiest you can do with the time you have and are familiar with, NOW...Then make time to do on whatever else source you decide. Mine are saved as jpg's.

My cuttings of stem-and-leaf mandarins appear to have failed this spring. I think they just get too dehydrated in the store. Whereas a bud (for grafting) probably has enough energy in it and is easier to 'hydrate' once grafted. I don't know. I would have grafted mine, but didn't have enough window of time to do it. Need to pull out all the tools; find the appropriate rootstock; make sure its bark is slipping, etc. etc. Crazy with a kid at home and wife working full time. My time is not always my own to pursue my hobbies!
