[dba-Tech] MS Paint

Hi Susan:

There is a full feature image editing tool, with everything you want which
you can download for free call GIMP... an excellent product considering the
price: http://www.gimp.org/windows/ Full documentation as well.

(A donation is always welcome... I usually anti-up $25.00 for each install)

Well, MS Paint doesn't let you have that much control. I've been using MS 
Picture It to reduce figures to "web-ready," which I think means 72 dpi, but

I haven't checked Help to confirm that.

Is there a free or inexpensive product that both shots figures and lets you 
reduce them to 72 dpi or 40 to 50 k?
