BTW--I've been wondering, should I select 'remove' or 'completely remove' or neither for a program I install and then decide not to use? My concern is that, if I remove it and it lists dependencies which were already on my system because they are used by some previously installed application, will

Nigel, I installed Kolourpaint and it looks simple and has what I need for this project--I like it. The issue is that it crashes (actually freezes) every time I try and drag in an image or paste in an image. Thanks though. David On Thu, Feb 18, 2010 at 8:51 PM, nigel barker wrote: > I think yo

Hi All, I want students to be able to annotate images, such as photos taken through a microscope, adding arrows and labels to parts of the image, for example. It might also be nice if there were contrast/brightness/saturation controls. Need the ability to export back to jpeg/png. I don't want re
