Use of Adobe Photoshop 6

[Dan Millar]

Yes, Preview has those basic annotation capabilities - and Comic Life's as well - good call Ben! But, without David's system info, we're shooting in the dark!

If David is using a current version of the Mac's OS, then I will also throw Pages from iWork back in the ring, a simple page layout program that is not expensive(~$100), and can easily do the editable text with a photo function, layout books, cards, calendars, or whatever, and with iPhoto as your digital darkroom, you can forget all about Photoshop.

My question is, if PhotoShop 6 is working, there must be an old version of the OS being used, as PS6 will only launch in either Classic OS or OS 9? Perhaps the scanner only works with a Photoshop plug-in?

David?

Happy Mac'ing!

Sorry for the delay, but I've been a bit under the weather.  Thanks for all the replies.  I believe that the problem was in saving as a JPG and trying to edit that.  The initial default format can be edited, so it's a matter of retaining that as well as the resulting JPG until all is said and done.  Then any changes can be made to the original and re-saved, overwriting the old JPG.  My wife had fun trying to get all images the proper size to fit one of those stand-alone slide show devices for the living room and make the font look the same size in each.  Such a game.
