Thank you Rich :-) I can do an Alt + printscreen on any html page and get a jpg image. I just downloaded and setup Gimp but what a complicated mess it is. I can use PhotoFiltre to rotate images that need it. Some of the pages are distorted a bit and it would be helpful to be able to ḋrag and rotate the edge of an image to make it square. Do you know of any simple prog that could do that. TIA

Maybe JC can advise. As you have found, just about anything can rotate an image. Deskewing and applying corrections interactively is another matter. Best I can advise is back to gimp. Here is a 4 minute demo on one way to adjust individual images. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s3_oNpt4hPk -- rich

Photo! Editor has the easiest photo straightener of any app I've tried, freeware or not. However, there is no batch straightening capability. http://pho.to/editor/download.php

Picasa's photo straighten function is much simpler and better! http://picasa.google.com -- Duncan.
