Hi, was wondering if anyone could help. New to the photo editing game so was wondering if anyone could recommend a free photoshop style editing suite?

Cheers

    Sounds like you're looking for the GIMP (Gnu Image Manipulation Program)

    It's originally written for Linux, but...

    Windows version is here:

    As you're a beginner, I'd suggest the simpler but more than capable Paint.NET to start you off.

    Also try the free Serif PhotoPlus 7 (download from lower down this list). G

    Try the free Faststone Image Viewer 3.2 http://faststone.org/

    FastStone Image Viewer 3.2 Freeware (Last Update: 2007-04-23) 5Stars.gif
    An image browser, converter and editor that supports all major graphic formats including BMP, JPEG, JPEG 2000, GIF, PNG, PCX, TIFF, WMF, ICO and TGA. It has a nice array of features such as image viewing, management, comparison, red-eye removal, emailing, resizing, cropping, color adjustments, musical slideshow and much more.

    I'm very impressed with it!:D

    I also use Photoshop.

    Dont forget Irfanview http://www.irfanview.com/. One of the best free photo editors around and particularly useful if you are a newbie.
