Okay, so this is mighty off-topic, but it might save us all some
bandwidth and time...
Adobe PhotoShop it the greatest, but it comes with a scary price tag.
I would recommend Jasc's Paint Shop Pro, it will do whatever you
need, and then some, for your web needs. It is downloadable from e.g.
http://www.tucows.com/
The newer versions are 30 days evaluation, and then about 100
dollars. Version 4.12, which still is a great application, does not
expire (for those of you who does not have any bad conscience... ;)
Search for Psp412.zip at filez.com or some place like that.
Some time ago, I made this instructional page for scanning and
compressing images. Maybe you will find it useful:

If anything is unclear I will be happy to update that page with
further instructions.
Just preparing a very late lunch, Swedish hash with improvements of a
few jals, piri-piris, carrots, garlic and champignons. Final dressing
will be El Yucateco Habanero sauce. Right now, it is exactly my heat.
Way hot, but not unbearable.
Wierd food. It will be the trend for the year 2000. Mix, dismatch and
improvise.
