Thanks Ronan and Padraig - these are all close to what i need but not 
quite it. A little googling after the post lead me to a program called 
ImageReady which ships with photoshop and does exactly what i want so 
that solves the problem for now. However I've yet to find an open source 
alternative. Paintshoppro ships with something similar but i cant seem 
to find it in the gimp or any other linux package. I'll keep looking and 
if i find anything i'll post it to the list so others running into the 
same difficulty can get around it

thanks
