I just got back from a photographer friends. She struggled to do much with
the photograph so we just took a new one.
So its all fine now.
But I really want to thank you all for your help and for getting back to me
so quickly, thank you.
Well its late now and I've had enough of messing about with the computer for
today.
Good night, and thank you againe

Its a passport photograph, so doing the little chain things doesn't really
work, as it becomes distorted.

Hello

I really need to adjust a photograph. It needs to be 600 by 600 pixels.
When I change one value it seems to automatically adjust itself.
I really need to get this done ASAP, so if you can help it would be graitely
appreciated.
