Free photo editing software site reccommendations?

Artytarty

Hi, I never usually venture in here, its all a bit scary!
Anyway, I used to have "professor franklin" photo editing on my pc but it got wiped in a clean up and I cant find the cd to reinstall.
It wasnt great but it was a freebie years ago and di my very limited needs just fine.
Can anybody point me in the direction of something similar please? ie: free and quite simple to use? I only really need the basic tools of crop and resize, sometimes colour adjustment.
Thanks. Arty.

I've a feeling I may have posted this in the wrong section! Can anybody redirect me please?

Hi
You're in the right place.
It's just a bit quiet right now.

Maybe worth trying Google Picasa which is free ?

http://picasa.google.co.uk/

Thanks

I've always been a gimp fan, but it possibly has more features than are needed. I have heard that paint.net is simpler but not used it http://www.getpaint.net/

I use Picasa and Gimp.

Picasa is very easy to use and will do all you've mentioned (picasa.google.com)

I'm still learning to use Gimp. It's a steep learnng curve but there are lots of free tutorials and support on the web.

If you prefer to use Prof Frank there is a Free download of Professor Franklin's Instant Photo Effects 2.0 here:

But my suggestion would be Picasa (https://www.picassa.google.com) it's free and easy to use.

Also have a look at Gimp.Then you can teach me how to use it :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

thank you all, I'm going to try and use Picasa.
(Actually I'm so useless that I have downloaded it , just now, but I dont know where to find it on my pc!) Doh!
OK , it seems you have to install something after you download it, I may be on to something here!

Once installed it should be pinned to the Start menu. When I press the Start buttin on my computer Picasa is listed in the left hand column.

The program itself is stored in "C:\Program Files\Google\Picasa3"

Again on my computer Picassa will open if I double click any photo in MyPictures.
