I have received so much help through the forums that I thought I should do a little payback. :) I am in the process of re-taking all our photos and have always struggled to get them just how I want them for the web / Etsy. I don't have Photoshop nor do I know how to use it and always struggled with Gimp -- just so many steps to get what I want and then wasn't sure if it was right until I exported the image and looked at it.
Well, I found online --

I am loving it!
