Yes, I am glad...and he was the only one of my parental and grandparental generations who did. All the uncles, aunts and cousins stayed :P

Thank you very much for your cleanups, especially obliviating the washing although I thought it was rather charming. And typical of the back lanes, although it was just the 1970s model car that didn't fit :)

Tony, how do you change to greyscale? Can it be done in Microsoft Picture Manager?

Thanks again,
China

I do not use this program but looking online at the manual, it seems straightforward.
See attached instruction for changing a colour image to black/white.

The free program "Photoscape" is a very versatile program and well worth having a look at  :)
~ one click change from colour to greyscale.
~ one click change from greyscale to sepia.
~ many more adjustments easily done.

Okay, that's what I've been doing in Microsoft...it's a slider under Color, Saturation. Works well for yellowed photos etc when you want them to all look the same for a scrapbook page.

Thanks Tony.

Cheers,
