Was at wedding Saturday and took some lovely Rolling Eyes Rolling Eyes pics of my friends. They did not have a professional photographer so are relying on pictures from friends and family!!!
I would like to tidy them up a bit ie chop off half people, fix scary devil eyes etc. Trouble is I have no idea how to do it or what sort of programme to use. Could any of you lovely people point me in the direction of a programme I could use (preferably free!!)

Ta muchos in advance Very Happy Very Happy

Hi Carol

I have done this many times in the past. It is quite tricky and there is quite a learning curve. How many photographs do you have to get done

You might try Picasa which has basic editing functions and is good for organising photos. It's free too and you can get it here:-

Wow you lot are quick ta!!! Artona got about 20 I think. Some I would not even attempt as faces hidden etc. However at present its a moot point as I cannot get them from the camera onto my computer! It tells me its doing it and when I go in it is just this

If you want to do them yourself first thing (and assuming you are using a PC not a mac)

MAKE COPIES OF THEM - preferably as TIF files not JPG but that implies some knowledge.

Send a few to me by email and I'll do them up for you if you like.


Just seen the preceding post OK get over that hurdle first have you ever loaded photos on to your computer before?

Frank yes i have downloaded pictures before but this is gavins new camera so have a feeling i may need to download some software or somethin to allow me to get them on. Attempting to do this at present.


Pusser yes it was a wedding with many half people but strangely it only became visible in my pictures...............very strange!!

HI Carol

If the camera has a usb lead simply plug it in, switch the camera on and the pc will see it as a harddrive, then drag them over
