[DEMUG] De-Photoshopping

[Maxwell Joy]

I am not pushing graphic converters, but have had great luck posting  
pictures for both windows and mac with it and pretty good with  
printing them With Photo shop I have a very hard time to my own  
printer and some luck to the web, making them web ready. How do other  
people in the group do this?
