    Does anyone know of a free and small sized (I'm on a crappy 56k modem) art package that I can download to my mum's PC? The one I'm using keeps sticking unreg' signs in the corners of the pictures. I knew I should have brought my Adobe discs to the UK with me :smt009 What I need it to do is resize JPG files and that's about it really.

    MSPAINT doesn't allow you to resize pictures and for some stupid reason always wants to save the image as a bmp file.

    Oh yes, so it does. Shame it always wants to save as a bmp file though.

    MS Paint can resize pics but it distorts the image, its POS.

    If you have MS Office 97, or 2000 then in there is a program called MS Photo Editor. Just run Installation again and in the Custom Installation options, select MS PHoto Editor to be installed and there you go.

    Don't JPEG your image with Paint. Paint puts more emphasis on compression than quality. Use PNG if available.
