Kris -
Thanks for asking.
How's the 9600? (it is a
9600, right?)
I had to ditch mine for parts and ended up getting a BUNCH of software on the 8500 that I bought for $25 (Photoshop, Freehand, Quark Xpress, MS Office, etc), so it ended up pretty sweet.
Speaking of my family,
here's a current pic of our youngest.
She got this taken yesterday and my wife wanted to learn a bit about Photoshop, so I piddled a bit, dropped the color out from her and basically everything but the flowers, then dropped them in on top where they belonged.
We liked the tone difference so much that we printed a few to frame.
Have a wonderful day and may the Lord bless you all.
