Those are both neat, but they both require XP+ and Paint.NET requires .NET2 I don't see that ArtWeaver has any photo-oriented features. It is for drawing. Or am I missing something? PhotoFiltre looks awesome! I think we may have a winner The photos were recorded in black and white... there IS no color data there. Sure you could add fake color but there's no way you're going to be able to turn black and white photos into color photos. It's just not possible. dirt, I found this link while reading these posts but I don't think it is exactly what you want: http://www.artweaver.de/index.php?id=62,144,0,0,1,0 Thanks it looks like it might work.
