Cleaning up images in Photoshop etc

[Paula A]

???.. I use Gimp .. pretty good for image editing and creation, but for flyers and posters I use open office draw and others depending on need for text and whatnot.

There is even a version called "gimpshop" designed to be more familiar for photoshop users.

For an example of what can be done with free open source software (gimp is available for windows too).. see the back of my last CD .
