The one that I use the most now is http://www.paint.net
It's very close to paintshop pro or photoshop and has a lot
of the same features. When I want to make my logo transparent
to replace the one on the ventrino default page I just zoom it
up and use the eraser with different sized brushes to get around
the images really well, and then save it as a gif or jpg.

You can add layers and do all kinds of neat stuff with it.
And it's free forever, not a trial.

I give a Thumbs Up to this one, Rebecca!

I use a variety of image tools including Photo Shop but
Paint.NET is really Awesome for taking any image you may
have on your PC and using the 'Magic Wand' tool for
removing any colors or backgrounds around an image and turn
it into a transparent image! It does it very well!

It is also Great for adding borders around your images as
it has a line tool that you can use, to say put a 1px or
2px border directly on an image.

I just downloaded a Free Header Maker from
www.xheader.com that also includes 500 free
headers and so far have not found any catch to it...
It even has a couple of basic video tutorials...

I really stink at making tables and am trying to put a
scrolling banner image / java script code in a header image
on one of my sites... Having a terrible time!...


Kindest Regards...
