Your welcome Janet.
I’m glad they are of use.

The image below seems a little dark in the Gallery. So I have made it a bit brighter.
If you are happy with it then I would suggest that you copy the modified image from here and then try replacing the one that’s in your album by deleting the one that’s in now and uploading the new one. If not then it doesn’t matter. It would be interesting to see if you can do it.
