I must thank Paul for contacting me and talking me through my problem.
Now I need a course and programme on editing photos.
Sorry for being a pain.

What platform does your confuser work on Mac, wiindoze, XP 7, 8 or other?
Then we can recommend some free software to download, nothing wrong with the pics you show here, I have done worse myself init?

Nice looking pens the only problem I can see is the kits look like the cheep Chines ones that will let your customers down and may stop them coming back

For windoze 7 as I said earlier Paint has come a long way and will do all that is required.
I use a program called Gimp and Paul mentioned one the other day which I have used at work called photopad, he may put a link up or search the forums for where he mentioned it and you may find one.
There is a learning curve for all and any software you choose to use but the results are well worth the effort as good pics are always appreciated.

Excellent starter for pens, however I would not sell the, I give them away as tasters to family and friends.

They are your best critics, and if one causes problems they will tell you and it won't hurt your custom, simple..

Hello. I think because you have used the same wood one is drawn to the colour of the nibs. Since the nibs are primary colors they seem too corporate and dare I say mass market. I would have thought that the appeal in buying a hand turned pen is the uniqueness. Thus I fear this style with the nib colours reminds me of bic set. Red, black blue etc. it could just be the affect of them photod together of course. On closer inspection each pen has a unique style, but agin the primary colour draws the eye and the woods merge. So market them individually. Ps just an opinion on the kit and not the turner.
