Thanks for looking this up. A few tips that may/may not be helpful too:
*If you want a plain white background, try getting some newprint leftover
rolls from your local paper. Ours gives em out for free, and they usually
have a TON of 'extra' paper on em, Glossy sometimes too ;)
*Use Skylight lighting! Our house has a SWEET skylight at the edge of a
room, and that's where I get some of my best lighting for pics (only better
is a cloudy day outside SOMETIMES!)
Now I may not be the best at photo stuff, But I always try to get better,
and these things helped me a bit. FYI, I use a SiPix SP-1300 that has like
2 Megapixels or somethin, but I got a 32 MB Flash Memory card for X-mas.
Yehaah!

Oooh! Thanks! I've been using MGI-Photosuite 3, but it is just what came
with my digicam, and does not have all that I'd like it to, e.g. tool wise.
It crops and rotates, easily, but that's it.
