I think it was pretty obvious... Photoshop will cost you just about 800 CND. I can't see anyone paying that much money jsut to resize pictures... so if he does take that sugestion, is he really going to buy it??? And if the Admin was actually expecting the member to go out and buy it, then that's just stupid... no different that me needing a car to get myself to university and back, a cheap little beater, and someone telling me to go to the ferrari Dealership... c'mon..

Download GIMP for windows. Do a google search for it. Very easy to use and similar to photoshop. It's also free

Hey thanks.

lol, not exactly. Sadly, she's all cartoon. I like to collect 50s style pinups (no nudes though), this was just more modern.

Yeah I found the paint thing cuz I am: 1) cheap beyond all reason 2) against software piracy and 3) only partially computer literate so it has to be dead easy Trying to use that feature to blow up an image results in some nasty pixellation though..
