I use Irfanview for all of my image chores. In addition to all of the
things mentioned, I use the panorama feature to make composites of maps
local with regional views. I use it for the software front end for my
scanner. I use it to create multi-page tif files when I have scan multi
page documents. (I have a flat bed scanner) In this way I can fax one
file with several pages, not multiple faxes to get all of the pages sent.


Interesting - didn't know it could do all of that stuff.

I have all of the filters installed and use them occasionally in trying
to read tombstones. I do a lot of genealogy research.


Kewl beans. Mrs. Wave is into that also. She's got twenty years of
research into her family and mine.

She's got the whole thing laid out in a family tree. Here's an
interesting factoid. My Mom's family is from the mid-West, my Dad's
family is Mayflower descendants from Salem, MA.

About 130 years ago, there is a connection between the two families
by marriage. Then it repeated with my Mom and Dad.

Now here's the thing that's really weird. If you go back that same 130
years, there is a marriage connection between Mrs. Wave's Father's
family and my Mother's family in Ireland. Repeated again by Mrs. Wave
and I.

Absolutely astounding and like totally weird.
