On the road again……..
Early flight tomorrow for points west. Took the S.O. to see UP in 3D tonight. It was a lot of fun to see. She enjoyed it-and it ended up being a good way to cap off a good day.
I came across some old pix of aircraft and a lot younger me. I tried to scan them-but no soap. Could scan them at work-but they came out as PDF files. Anybody got any tips for converting-short of shelling out 300 bucks for Adobe?
Its been a philosophical weekend this weekend. Will try to right more from destination USA tomorrow-God and the Internet connections willing. Wish me luck as I traverse the nations second busiest airport tomorrow. There is too much to say tonight and not enough time to say it. It is always that way I guess- a good analogy for life sometimes.
Have a great weekend-what’s left of it!

Couldn’t you just scan them from the import option in Photoshop?
If I had Photoshop…….
use the select tool/crop tool on adobe viewer…copy, paste into MS Paint and crop around it…alternatively, ctrl-alt-prnt scrn and paste into Paint.
Take a look at open office, its free and you can save in virtually any format.
You need to acquire the images from the scanner through a photo editor (Look for “Acquire” in the File menu), and then save the images as a JPG file.
Microsoft used to bundle “Microsoft Photo Editor” into Office 97 but discontinued it, although these folks claim to have a free download: http://www.brothersoft.com/microsoft-photo-editor-128651.html
Alternatively, you can buy Photoshop Elements for $80 or Amazon, or PaintShop Pro from Corel for $70.
There is also an open-source image editor called gimp (http://www.gimp.org/windows/) that might also do the trick.
