Hi Stitcher, it is a free open source program originally appearing on the Linux operating system. It can be downloaded from here https://www.gimp.org/downloads/That is fantastic, brilliant do you think I could use it if I download it?? I am overly computer literate.
BetterHad a play to see what the new Metro trams would look like in the old BCT colours ... maybe at bit old fashioned ...

As previously mentioned the program is not easy to learn to use. Here are three screenshots of it in action as a quick example.If I can learn to use that I will have great fun. my friend is a computer whiz kid and when he gets a bit of time he will call in and download it for me.

1. I dragged a pic off the forum into the Gimp work area, selected the train and part of the house, you might just about see dotted lines round them.

2. In the selected areas I removed the colour (sepia) and slightly sharpened them.

3. I selected half of the fence, sharpened it, and bucket filled some 'light brown' on to it.

For a bit of Friday fun I (and my laptop) added some colour to this pic of a celebration in Victoria Square ... I suppose I could have picked something easier! Seems to be a Mrs Thatcher 'look-a-like' in the centre of the pic ...

It is interesting how the colours bring out certain things. The Mrs Thatcher 'look-a-like' saw they had the same colour outfits and asked about them. On the left a teenager selling toy windmills. the women in green holds a union flag, the uniforms showing the 'officer type' on the left, a foreign soldier in the middle, and a women in RAF uniform partially visible behind the women in blue. The only object I really knew the colours of was the flag !Dead spit of Maggie Thatcher and the way she used to lean forward. But you could of cleaned up the young lad's shirt on the bottom right!
