Thanks, gill, I'll keep that in mind for future use. Cannot even install CS3 from the old files I have and of course they no longer support anything but the "latest & greatest", so even if I could find a legit copy of CS6 for sale there's no use buying it. Just installed Gimp and trying to figure it out, again was maybe 20 years since I tried that but it was all over the place at the time so I gave up on it and went with Corel Graphics Suite. Now that has gone the Adobe route too, you can still buy a copy but no updates even though it's around $700 and I'd have to pay full price as they also took away upgrade pricing from just about every other version. Worse, their subscription pricing is higher than for Photoshop with all the bells & whistles. If I were still working in the industry, yeah, I'd have to hold my nose and subscribe. Can't justify it right now though, especially with the state of the economy these days. Maybe when it goes on sale I'll get Photoshop Elements, I had a trial that recently finished and I must say it had much going for it that suited my needs. PaintShop Pro, on the other hand, seems to have gotten out on the wrong side of the bed this latest version. I'm doing a trial of that and so far am not impressed so I'll be sticking with PSP 2020, not upgrading. I'd probably be tempted if it could do the closed eye fix that even Photoshop Elements can do --- Mom, God bless her! always used to complain about how all her pictures got snapped right when she had to blink. Great that there's a way to fix it, not so great that it doesn't come cheap for those of us on tight budgets or who don't do all our work on smart phones. 

And ... I've rambled on too long. Here's a Snape. Not sure what spell he's using, but I bet it packs quite a punch.
