I used photoscape for mine and I used sTile to make the name tiles. both are free, just google the names and you should be able to pull up the sites. I have no photoshop experience and figured it out pretty easy.

guess I should have read through the post instead of jumping the gun. LOL

I downloaded the photoshop trial version and I just couldn't figure it all out.

This one does seem pretty easy.

I tried the trial version as well and couldn't figure it out for the life of me. with the sTile program if you go to the examples at the bottom you can right click on the pic and save to your computer. that way you don't have to go through all the steps that he gives you. I found some more on the site called harms tiles. there is like 6 pages of added tiles that you can save.

Well i cant figure out the CS3 trialversion, found so far Photoshops Elements is alot easier to use, and figured out how to make them. Oh well saves me about $300 bucks.

You all should check out GIMP

it's Free and exactly does the same thing that photoshop or psp does!

How do you use it? I just downloaded it and I can open one file, but I can't figure out how to put more pictures in it. I'm really not good with this stuff!

I've downloaded Video Avatar, GIMP, and a couple other programs and I just can't figure it out. Maybe I'm stupid, someone already basically called me stupid because I couldn't figure it out.

Oh honey not at all!!!! I'm at work right now and don't have acess to it otherwise I'd help you out. I only used it for one pic, maybe someone who has more experience with it can help you out tonight. I really like the photoscape, it also has the .gif format so you don't have to use another animation program. pm me in the am I get off at 7am, but I can't promise that my husband won't be hogging the computer when I get home. We'll get if figured out.

You are not stupid! You know how to raise a yorkie! It takes a lot of time and trial and error to learn these things. I got it so fast because I'm retired and I have a lot of time!
