Cheesehead - I have a hard time taking pictures too - I'm using my digital SLR and take a pic and look at it, then take another . . . usually I eventually get one that is good enough. Then I crop it so I get rid of the excess background. Mine seem to end up looking bowed, but I make them a bit oversized and trim them with my 12.5" square, so I know they are exactly 12.5" and perfectly square. I also don't have good lighting for taking pictures so the colors are almost always a bit darker or duller than they look in person. And if I use the flash, I'm too close and everything gets washed out. But I'm not entering any contests with my pictures - so I share them the way they are.

I know there is software out that there can "fix" pictures taken on the slant or slightly crooked, but then I'd have to learn how to use it, and right now Paint challenges my editing abilities.

Now if I could do it on a spreadsheet . . .
