Hi Mudge and Gar,
That is what I call quick Fantastic I just put it on a short time ago, you guy's are amazing I think they are Great, I Love this site I only wish I could do what you all do, I have downloaded Serif photo 6 but am still learning, if I get it right I would invest in a better one but until then I would prefer to leave it to the experts, thanks again cheers Fae Janemarie
