I want to be able to print my photos just on normal A4 paper. I want to give the page a back ground and the photos nice frames. I would also like to add text on the page. I do not want to make photo books just separate pages. I want the program to be very easy to use. Do you know a program for me?

Wombat is a very knowledgable animal when it comes to photography.
He and I share another forum site where we dabble in showing our photos. Have learnt a lot from him in the last couple of years.
Well done wombat.

I have downloaded a trial version of Paintshop Pro and also Adobe Photoshop to try. Also have very slow internet now as it took me over my limit! Oh well.
Now just have to experiment with them and work out which one will do what i want.

They both do the same thing, make sure you check prices for each product PSP is cheaper.

Hi lyn-n-ken,
I have never tried online editors, I prefer more control over my pics, however that site looks ok to me, the only time I would be concerned is if they ask for your email address when it came time to get your edited pic.
If they want your email address then its not free, they may on sell your email address and you will end up getting a lot of spam.
Regards _wombat_

when you say did not load, were you able to download the file but not execute it or was it the doanload that did not work?
What system are you running Xp Vista Win7
I want to give the page a back ground and the photos nice frames. I would also like to add text on the page.
I do not want to make photo books just separate pages.
I want the program to be very easy to use.
