indeed I have! 2 years later and I remembered this forum as a reliable resource. I have another question I'll post in a new topic. Thanks for your prompt reply, Mr. Blue and please forgive me for my delayed reply.

I've been through many graphic editors and the only one that made transparencies easy is Irfran Viewer, but half of the time the images looked worse coming out than they did coming in. If anyone can enlighten me by posting the procedure or link(s) to something useful would be greatly appreciated. Attached is an example of what I commonly struggle with.
