Is it possible to put an HT in Mighty Mouses Right hand and the words, "Here I am to save the day" under him? How would I accomplish this great feat using software available for Ubuntu?

Here is my image:

Curses! Foiled again! I figured out how to do it in LibreOffice Draw...... The problem is it wont save it as an image......

Couldn't you just 'rename the file extension to .jpg or .png or something?

No, I tried that. Maybe I'll try it again using Windows Paint. I thought Ubuntu had a Paint like program but I can't seem to find it.

Winderz usually works, sometimes not, but usually does...... would be worth a try.

Just a word of warning, Steve: that's a copyrighted image, so be careful where you use it. About the last thing you need is being forced to deal with some asshole IP attorneys.

An older version of Photoshop with Irfanview were the tools I used...
Gimp should do it just as well as Photohop. Irfanview is free and simple.

I agree. PS is very good, and the interface makes more sense.

Years longer. I first encountered PS in 1991. Might even still have a version of v. 1.0 around here somewhere; it fit on a single 1.4 MB 3.5" floppy. Hah.

Yep, then along came The GIMP and it blew PS away... !:mrgreen:
