    GIMP is more powerful, Paint.net is easier to get started with. Both are free.

    faststone image viewer - love it

    there's also irfanview

    I think gimp is recognised as being the most comprehensive free one
    Hate and I do mean Hate my apple Mac Computer - wish I'd never bought the thing
    Do little and often
    Please stop using the word "of" when you actually mean "have" - it's damned annoying :mad:

    GIMP every time. It may not be as powerful as Photoshop but it's only really professionals who would use the highest end features.
