ok guys to cut a long story short! (I've been up all night doing this and knackered!)
I went to my local photographers the other day to price up how much it would cost to have my boys photo taken! (wanted to give the grandparents sumfin different as they can buy whatever they want really as they got more money than me!)
the price came out at £20 for the sitting and £30 for each photo at 10x8"!
i needed 3 done so it would have cost me £110!

(without frames)
so i went and purchased a 10.1mp sony cybershot for £70 with a £5 gift voucher at argoos!

currys had an epson sx405 on offer for £45 so grabbed it!

and some photo paper for £5!
so that cost me an extra fiver! plus £24 for 3 frames at asda

(without the printer and camera these photos with frames cost me less than a tenner each

)
i've never used paintshop before(im a virgin

) so what you think of my results!
bare photo!
after my paintshop effort!
and the end result all framed up!
also if any1 here uses paintshop much please feel free to write a little article on how to use it properly as i am unsure on how to do some stuff like removin and adding objects into my pictures!! all help much appreciated!!
