Title: New computer - photo editing programme?
Post by: Abiam2 on Sunday 07 August 11 13:04 BST (UK)
I have just had to buy a new laptop in a bit of a rush.  Now need to do some photo editing again in a rush.  But it does not seem to have a good photo/edit programme!  I personally do not get on the windows set up for photo editing.  Does anyone know of a free, easy to use photo editor, please?

Its free.

I use a mixture of  Paint.net for simple things - and gimp for other bits

 Hi Abriam,

    Click on this link for some good Freebies.

    http://www.freeserifsoftware.com/

     They do tend to plague you a little bit with e-mails

   for other products. but it's no big deal.

   Click on the more info button at the top for Photoplus.

    It's a very good programme and has some good tutorials.

Microsoft's ICE - a free panorama stitching program - is worth the download.

I also like Gimp but for just your usual cropping, autofix type stuff I like Irfanview http://www.irfanview.com/. Be sure to download the plugins and it will open and edit just about any kind of image you can think of.

Thank you all.   In the end I found Serif Photo Plus starter pack which did what I wanted it to.  After a very frustrating day! 
Thanks again,
