Photo Editors (in Off-topic)

Yeah so i am looking for a decent free or very very cheap photo editor, that someone with no skills in the area could pick up and just start playing with.

The Gimp

Try Irfanview


It's got some really nice features for a free program.

Gimp is better though. I always forget about it.



Curse you, Bart. You type too fast.

Yep, Gimp. Only about $1000 less than Photoshop!

I have Irfanview, and I it only works as a photo viewer. I suppose there's an extension for it that lets you edit photos, though.

The Gimp is very good. I haven't tried it on Windows before, but I suppose it should work as well as on Linux.

The Gimp, on *NIX, Windows, Mac OS, or anything else you can get it to compile on.

Paint.NET is nice. And Google's Picasa 2 is able to do some effects too. Or try Ultimate Paint.

Definitely The Gimp. If you dont want something as complicated, I agree Paint.net is good as well.
