◙ The best free image editor/viewer is IrfanView. There are many plugins you can add to this great FREE tool for a variety of tasks. Do you need to resize images, make them transparent, make a photo slideshow? These are just a few of the many possibilities.\n\n◙ Irfanview Main Page\n► http://www.irfanview.com/\n\n◙ Download Irfanview\n► http://www.irfanview.com/main_download_engl.htm\n\n◙ Plugins Page\n► http://www.irfanview.com/plugins.htm\n\n◙ Irfanview Help Forum\n► http://irfanview-online.de/\n\n◙ Freqently Asked Questions\n► http://www.irfanview.com/faq.htm\n\n◙ Irfanview Tutorials\nhttp://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=irfanview+tutorials \n\n◙ Irfanview Examples\n► http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&q=irfanview+examples\n\n◙ I suggest that you forget this and buy Adobe Photoshop. This is what most professional web designers use to create their graphics.

ImageReady from Adobe.\n\nGIF Animator is also a nice animation creation software.

I really like the Irfanview image viewer, and the Paint .NET image editor.\n\nAnd of course the Firefox browser is freeware.

look up the GIMP - it is a free download and almost as good as PhotoShop (when I last used PhotoShop, 2 years ago)

You cannot download PaintShop for free legally.\n\nIf you are just looking for a good photo editing / image creation software, I would recommend a similar program called PhotoPlus which has all the tools you need but which is completely free.

http://www.gimp.org/\n\nThe Gimp is one popular freeware image editor. It's not as powerful or intuitive as the most popular software, Photoshop, but it's a few hundred dollars cheaper :). Alternatively, you can get Photoshop illegally, but I won't dwell on that. Either way, you may find either program difficult to manage if all you've had experience with is MS Paint, but there are many tutorials available online (and included in the software, even) that can help you get started. I don't know of anything simpler, sorry.

There isn't a good freeware version of Photoshop. You can download a trial version from the Adobe website or chooes an alternative program like Gimp, which is a free Photoshop-like image editing program:\n\nhttp://www.adobe.com\nhttp://www.gimp.org/

The GIMP is a 100% free program. It is rather good. Was designed for Linux but you can get versions for OSX and Windows!\n\nWindows - http://gimp-win.sourceforge.net/\nMac OSX - http://gimp-app.sourceforge.net/\n\nIf you are a photoshop user and like the layout you can also download this program, its called GIMPSHOP. Basically its a version of the GIMP but changed a bit to look like Photoshop.\n\nhttp://www.gimpshop.net/ \n\nI have never used it so can't really comment on it, but i have only ever read good things about it. Hope this helps :)

PhotoPlus, http://www.freeserifsoftware.com/ that is the closest to PhotoShop you will get to for free, it's also easier to use in my opinion\n\nPaint.NET, http://www.eecs.wsu.edu/paint.net/ this one is easier to use than PhotoPlus but it does not support drop shadows\n\nthe GIMP, http://www.gimp.org/ also very PhotoShop like but I found it harder to use than PhotoPlus or Pain.NET.  I didn't like the GIMP very much but I use PhotoPlus and Paint.NET the most.

For most of the people, GIMP offers the same functionallity that Photoshop offers, and it's free.\n\nYou should try GIMP and the Photoshop Trial, and decide if Photoshop is worth the money you have to pay.

Here are two of my choices:\n\nFor a professional-like but totally free great photo editing software try GIMP. You will use it for many other editing jobs too:\n\nhttp://www.gimp.org/\n\nFor a less sophisticated but still totally free program try Paint.NET. It looks and feels like the original Windows Paint but much more muscle power:\n\nhttp://www.eecs.wsu.edu/paint.net/\n\nOK...For a REALLY simple editor which can resize and crop images to specific sizes try:\n\nhttp://www.softforall.com/Multimedia/MediaManagement/CoffeeCup_Free_Viewer_Plus07060042.htm

Adobe photoshop is a good program for this application. A link to their website follows. \n\nhttp://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/\n\nThis is their newest product. You can probably find something cheaper on another site like Amazon or Ebay.
