Photo editing software
« on: 10 October 2010, 17:27:07 »

Any recommendations for free or very cheap photo editing software?.

I currently have Kodak easyshare on my second hard drive but find it is a pain.

I just want something to crop, raise or lower brightness before attaching toEmail or getting printouts. Needs to be easy to use!

if you've got Microsoft Office, the M/S Office Picture Manger does a fine job at just crop / resize and basic adjustments, i use it to re-size photos in bulk when in crappy windows...

nice little guide here:

I was going to suggest GIMP until you said easy to use.  ;D

Not much it won't do once you get the hang of it though.

Irfanview is probably a better choice for just basic cropping and exposure adjustment though.

I'll have a look at GIMP. Thanks.

Mrs Varche has just spent hours editing 32 photos using Kodak easyshare.

The PC runs XP with open office.

Irfanview sounds the ticket
