Hi,
Here's a link to independent reviews(in Tech Support Alert) of digital editing software:

I hope it's of use?

There are movie editors that will capture individual frames and such but the resolution isn’t usually very good. You could probably combine a movie screenshot freeware with the Windows XP movie editor to do most of what you need. Movie Maker 2 is an improved version and a free download from M$ http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/d...viemaker2.mspx This will capture stills from video: http://www.dirfile.com/simplycapture.htm

For the acne you can use noise reduction and the blur tool. All of your shots are faded and need some color enhancement. Photoshop’s auto levels did that without any other adjustments.

Your attachments are very low resolution ...
Do you have higher resolution originals ... we could fix for you ??

thanks for the thought but no, dont have the originals here and these were scanned for me by a friend; nothing pro just setting up an old school album of our generation and was hoping people had forgotten about the acne!
not to worry, will try some of the other recomendations
cheers!

There is a 30-day trial of Adobe Photoshop CS2.

Bonk, you can't see any acne because the photo is too low resolution, you can see some in the first picture.

Seems like lot of the Acne effect is cause by the high jpeg compression.
Will these do ??

Photoshop Elements 5.0 is much more affordable than Photoshop CS ...
here's the trial .... http://www.adobe.com/products/photos...in/tryout.html

And the answer to (1) .... here's the Adobe movie editor...

You can get the Elements 5.0 and the Premiere 3.0 in a package ...
