Questions re: Photo of the Month.

Ok,

Photo Story wants to remove the black edges from all the pictures no matter what size I make them thus distorting the picture or cropping a bunch of it off. What am I doing wrong?

SO then I tried Windows Movie Maker, just to try make something work...the pictures are all blurry. The pictures of PR did not cause me this many problems nor did the ones of Dad even though they needed retouching. LOL

So I am asking for some tips on what to try next. Photoshop is not an option right now... Was looking at GIMP but I do not know the vocab good enough to work it yet...tried doing somethings in photoscape, but that was too limited...

Help!
