Yes to all, with one notable exception:  I will not alter the content of
demonstration images captured with our products.  Change format, yes.
Create thumbnails, yes.  Alter, no.  What you see in our Photo Gallery
(http://www.pixelink.com/applications/photo_gallery.htm) is what you get,
apart from the necessary conversion to jpg (at minimal compression) and the
thumbnails.

Other than that, Photoshop is my friend.
