I think were still not on the same page, but down worry about it. I might try to create my own task images, I'll show them to you when/if I get them done.

Thanks for your prompt reply.

If i'm guessing right you mean little snowmen, doing whatever as the task image?

Or maybe the treetop could be the taskimages and they change as you go from selection to selection

Or maybe the tree lights change as you go.

Oh stop me, this could go on forever

Sorry, I actully did understand but I wasn't sure how to respond (I needed time to think about it). I like your idea but don't think I have enough time to do it this year because of my busy schedule.

I also liked your snowman picture and decided to rearrange it so we could use it as a bcakground. This was something I could do quickly!

Happy Holidays,

what do you guys use for image editing?

i used to fiddle with PSP but the last version i downloaded to try had a 30-day trial on it.

ive been looking for something thats a bit more advanced than the basic windows Paint, has layers and so on and lets me mix together images ive cobbled together from elsewhere....i dont need it often enough to justify the big outlay of one of the big proffesional package though. in fact, free would be great as im not working at the mo!

I've used PSP and still do on occasion. Lately i've been playing with Adobe Photoshop, It's a lot more than i seem to need or can use yet but seems pretty feature rich. Now if only i knew what all those features did.

In addition to to the suggestion of GIMP / GIMPshop, I would suggest Paint.NET.

Occasional users might find Paint.NET much less intimidating to use. [I have found that I could/can use Paint.NET for about 95% of my day-to-day production work, although it is missing "actions" which can be a HUGE productivity boost in Photoshop.]

This is a completely free (and open source) application brought to you by the students at Washington State University. You will need the .Net framework installed, but hey, if you are already running GBPVR . . . ;-)

Good luck.

Hi David:

Create your own Christmas theme using your image or photo

Merry Christmas. Great skin!

One issue: when I made a .PNG named YourImage.png sized 300x300 as described in your readme.txt, the resulting image is slightly cropped left and right. (Not just on MVP, but this even on a very high res. monitor with GBPVR mazimized.)

Any ideas why?
