Re: Scanning Photos

[Michael Kurkowski <mk@netstra.com.au>]

Hi,

Or if you are one of the few of us out there that use a unix based 
operating system, try a program called The Gimp. It's free, and it does 
almost as much as Adobe Photoshop. Installs almost seamlessly on a Redhat 
4.2 Linux system, so you shouldnt have any problems with later versions of 
Redhat (i think they may even include it these days) or slackware.

Michael. (trying to fall asleep at 5:30am, do you think its working?) :)
