i have a basic scanner...it automatically saves them as .bmp but i do a 'save as' and save them as jpeg since i can't upload .bmp's to LJ....

i have photoshop 5.0....i can crop, and um, that's about it!

thanks for any pointers! those were just amazing looking scans....

actually i'd make that cake NOW and i'd be pissed cuz it wouldn't turn out as pictured! but it looks great!
