Thanks again Carl. I've been reading about Elements and considering whether
or not to upgrade to it or bite the bullet and get PS 6. I don't need the
expense of PS  6 and may not need a lot of the features as I don't intend to
do more manipulation than necessary. I wasn't sure if Elements was enough of
an improvement over LE to justify the effort/cost though. I'm going into the
city tomorrow so will have a look at the prices for each. I'll be borrowing
a "spider" off one of the major retailers to profile my monitor, which
should help a little.

I don't know about the Win98 issue at all. Is it still possible to get
Win98SE ? I'm not keen on changing OS as I have so many programs and
customised bits and pieces to consider. Too busy taking photos at present.

Regards, Tim
