Thanks John. I was doing a little "smudge" work to get rid of some red eye,
and then I used the "transparency" tool to put the clear white center dot in
the eye. When I went to save the original JPEG file with the changes, I got
a message saying it couldn't save the transparency work. Result was that
the red eye was gone but the eyes look very flat. Any suggestions?

====================================
I don't know why you couldn't save the project,
maybe you need to delete your temp and
temporary internet files. Running Disk Cleanup
on a regular schedule is a good idea.

Now that you saved the other edits...maybe you
could try the transparency again.

I'm sorry, but I have no experience with Microsoft
Photo Editor. Picture It! has a *Clone* brush...
what it basically does is allow you to copy a
portion of an image and paste it somewhere
else. I use it to replace the *sparkle* in eyes.
There is almost always something white in an
image. Maybe Photo Editor has a similar tool.

Thanks, John. I think I probably need to experiment some more.

=================================
You're welcome, and try the office.misc
newsgroup...you may find some help there.

Actually, it may be a good idea to purchase
a more advanced editing program. Microsoft
Digital Image Pro 9 is a good choice.

..jpg does not support transparency. You can save the image as .gif or .png and retain
the transparency.

Thanks, Mary. I'll try that and see what it does to the size of my photo.
