Free-er than Picasa.... br br Faststone Image Vie... (show quote)

Thanks saichiez, I will certainly look at it and try. Some of them are a little to complicated to me, as I am sure you will understand that I have not used any software in the past, and software seem to vary so much. Anyway thanks for your suggestion again

GIMP does just about everything Photoshop does. There is a bit of a learning curve but it's good and, so far as I know, carries no malware.

Thanks rps, im finding a lot of people seem to be recommending GIMP. Looks as thoughI will have to down load it anyway whether I use it or not :? :thumbup: pip

I initially wanted PP just for small tweaks but found it to be so interesting (and fun) that I wanted to do more. When you switch programs you may know the basics but must learn a new system.
I have Lightroom and Elements and enjoy the heck out of both. They take time to learn, but I have that being retired. You will enjoy whatever program you use I am sure.

Thanks sodapop, I have heard they are both good programs, and will probably head down that road in the future :thumbup: pip :D

I'm a Photoshop user myself but was put wise to PIXIR.COM, maybe I could have saved myself a lot of money as it's free. Maybe the minus is that it is an on line editor. Had a tweek with it & it covers most of what P'shop does. Maybe others on the forum can give an opinion of this site. According to their tower chart it equals PS (if not better), of course they would say that. Kitcar

Thanks for your suggestion, but at present I would not want to do on line editing. I appreciate your time and suggestion :thumbup: pip

HI MARA, nice to here from a local. Yeah Im finding gimp to be a bit of a tuffy to work my way round. I think Picasa is all I need at present, its pretty basic but im just starting off so it will do. I will check Costco though with that deal. Thanks Ian, looking forward to hear from you again :thumbup: :D pip

For simple these are the ones I use

http://sourceforge.net/projects/jpegview/
Jpegview is the first one I use when I down load my photos

Just to do minor adjustments use Photofiltre
http://photofiltre.en.softonic.com/

for Raw have http://www.scarablabs.com/scarab-darkroom

All the above are free like the others have suggested I have Photoscape
and free version fast stone which can do Raws.

Hi Rick, thanks, these are all new to me, and will certainly be trying them out. Im pleased I joined UHH. Everyone is so helpful :thumbup: :D pip

Have to recommend Picmonkey, as it was suggested to me. Free and VERY easy to use. If you like it, you can upgrade for $4.99 per month to get other features. Does a lot of neat things, and I really enjoy using it.

Hi Debbie, thanks, this is a new one to me, I will certainly check it out. There must be more out there than I thought there would be, cheers :D :thumbup: pip
