Moveable Text on Graphics

I am an experienced VB6 programmer, who needs some help with a module for a larger project. ** OVERVIEW I have 200+, 300dpi .jpg color drawings (cartoons) that I want the end-user to be able to add text to. I want the end-user to be able to see the 5"x7" landscape cartoon on his screen and be able to choose any TrueType font, any size, any color, and drop it on the graphic in any location. He should be able to re-position the text and re-size it & choose the justification at will. This would be very similar to popular paint programs such at CorelDraw or PhotoPaint, but we only need the text capability. Here is the important part: when the end-user is satisfied with any and all text placed, he should be able to save the graphic WITH the text at 300 DPI as this is going to be printed. Most simple save functions for picture boxes save at screen resolution, usually 72 dpi. Hence the printed output of the text is very jagged - no good. PROGRAMMING DETAILS: There are several "paint" vb source code programs out there in Planet SourceCode and Free VBCode. You may use any part of those programs you wish as a starting point, adding any of your own code to accomplish the task required. This need to be VERY end-user friendly. He should be able to either drag and drop a moveable text box to any location on the 5 x 7" graphic and type OR type in a box, after choosing the font, color and justification and size, and drop it anywhere he wishes on the cartoon. There should be an undo function and a save funcion. If you are an experienced VB programmer with graphics or paint experience, you may already have this type of code. Note that all the cartoons are always the same size: 5" x 7", in landscape, 300 dpi and will need to be saved in that format. If the font looks jaggy in the final .jpg or .bmp, then back to the drawing board. What I want and need is a common function in all photo paint programs. I am attaching a sample catoon .jpg for you to work with. Where you may place the text will be obvious, but will change with every graphic, hence the need for moveable, drag and drop text. ## Deliverables 1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done. 2) Deliverables must be in ready-to-run condition, as follows?
