Hey, I was curious if anyone knew of what photo editing software that I could use that is not only rather easy to figure out, but is not very expensive. I want to be able to not only do basic editing, but also have the ability to cut and paste from one picture to the next. I mean I am no rockHEAD here - just need it for some simple tasks. So if there is any you can recommend, I would appreciate it.
For something REALLY simple, check out <a href="http://www.irfanview.com/">Irfanview</a>. It's an image viewer that has a small amount of editing tools. They're all REALLY EASY to use, and it will do most of what any average user would want.
here are a few basic photo editors - there are quite a few to choose from. I would suggest going to download.com and doing a search over there, maybe you can find a free one? Microsoft Photo Editor (very basic) Paint Shop Pro - decent program, under $100 Corel PhotoPaint - you can get version 9 for under $100 (this is what I use) Adobe Photo Elements - very basic stripped down version of Photoshop Arcsoft Photo Studio - usually comes free with some digital cameras, someone you know may have a copy
I love my Paint Shop Pro7. Its easier to use than Photoshop or Corel IMHO. I love the thumbnail browser. I love its GIF animator. I love it
