What program do you guys use to edit?

"Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth and danced the skies on laughter silvered wings. Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth of sun split clouds.....and done a hundred things you have never dreamed of.....wheeled and soared and swung high in the sunlit silence. Hovering there, I've chased the shouting wind along and flung my eager craft through footless halls of air.

Up, up the long, delerious, burning blue I've topped the wind swept heights with easy grace where never Lark, nor even Eagle flew. While with silent lifting of mind I've trod the high untrespassed sanctity of space, put out my hand and touched the face of god"

Pretty dang nice for your first.

I use Paint Shop Pro, currently version 7.

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.

And thanks for the info.I used Microsoft Office picture manager but,it didn't have very many options.

You can download older versions of PSP for free here. And even though it says trial period, I think you can continue to use it, just have to put up with nag screens.

The paywares have lots of bells and whistles but, of the freewares, both Paint.Net and Gimp do lots of things. My wife plays with photo editing so I have copies of an older Corel and an Adobe PSE but they, basically, just have more things to screw up.

I couldn't find a freeware paint shop program but, I did find Gimp.It has more than enough features for me..... Shocked

I don't know what a lot of them do but,I will soon find out Wink

thanks to everyone.

Here's the same shot after editing with Gimp.

I really like the edit...especially as it is your first attempt. My only slight 'niggle' is that the perspex on the nose cone isn't visable...but that could be the aircraft?

I actually had not noticed that.Good eye.
I believe it is the planes fault......
That's my story.I'm stickin' to it. Wink
