Hey it's the newbe again. A update on my end is I'm doing fine with my eMac, it is becoming much more easier each day to use it.

Oh! Yeah my question. I'm looking for a basic paint programe and can dowload or something. Nothing in the ranks of Photoshop just a simple paint prgrame were I can take my scaned pictures and cut and paste things I need. Can anyone list something?

Well, the emac should have AppleWorks that has a fairly basic paint and draw program. For touchups and other effects graphic converter works wonders. Corel has some pretty inexpensive products if you don't want to spend a couple hundred on illustrator or photoshop.

Two great places to look for freeware and shareware apps would be either versiontracker.com or apples software page at http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/

Apple Works huh? Sounds like just what I need. Though I never run acroos that programe yet. How can I find out if I have it or not?

look in your applications folder. it should be at the top when arranged by name.

Ok. Just checked. I don't have it for whatever reason. I will see if I can download it of Apple's site. Unless someone has a different idea.

it's a pay program if it doesn't come with your mac. about $80. although it will give you a lot of what you seem to be looking for. i use mine quite often. but i also use graphic converter alot too - more for photos and web art than creating.
