Hi all,

I was looking through all the different links given, and I was wondering whether anyone can recommend some software for what I am trying to do! Ideally something free.

I am trying to take four separate digital photos, which are stored on my PC, take a person out of each, and put them all into one photo together. I might need to resize the people in the photos too.

I'm trying to put together one photo of four kids, who never seem able to look at the camera at the same time! lol

I'd be grateful for some suggestions, thanks!

Photoshop Elements 6.0 ... But it's not freeware.

You could post your pictures here ...

Someone will probably do it for you.
Free and no learning curve required.

Haven't used any of these, But here's some freeware Image editing suggestions ..
http://www.techsupportalert.com/best...ilities.htm#21

The reason why I suggested Elements 6.0 .. It seems to have a new tool might do what you want.
http://blogcritics.org/archives/2007/10/17/120956.php ... look down to photo blending ..

With this tool, it might be advantageous to shoot several shots of kids in a group ..
then choose the good faces and let Elements do all the work.

Also worth mentioning is the 30 day trial is fully functional.

Capture One 4 is a raw workflow software package that can be gotten free. When you purchase a Sandisk Extreme III Compact Flash card inside you will find a free seril # and instructions on where to download from. You can find out more about Capture One 4 from the link below.

Does anyone know if any of these free editing programs allow you to do freehand cropping....similar to Adobe photoshop. I am looking to remove one background and put in another. On Adobe photoshop,I was able to cut out and object and use an eraser to remove more areas also. I can't get it to work on my new computer so I'm looking for one of these free programs that may do this.

RE: Look Here First For Free Photo Editing Software
Hey its interesting to download image editing software.

Here is another such software-'QFX'. QFX has enhanced the Thumbnails Browser to make working with images from digital camera much easier. Using the Thumbnails Browser, selecting multiple images and opening them all at once becomes easier. Check out - http://www.qfx.com.

From what I could see at their site it isn't a free download. If that's the case I would request you delete the link as this thread is reserved for FREE stuff only.
Thanks..........
