Hi y'all. For the last couple of years I've been collecting and testing one heck of a lot of freeware graphics programs. Two really good sources are freewarehome.com and nonags.com No one program dose everything, but many can do alot. For example, Satori PhotoXL has a wash function that is good for colorizing B/W photos or changing the color of a skin templet. One program may have a special effect to add bubbles over your image, or buttonize, or ect...ect........ The point is try them, the only thing you have to loose is a little download time, and you just might be supprised at the quality of some freeware. Happy downloading :) Two cents worth is just as valuable as a penny.
