Found a free photo tool!

I've been wanting, but couldn't afford, Photoshop Elements. I stumbled across this "shareware" version and it looks really good! It's called Gimp, www.gimp.org.
There is a free down loadable tutorial too. Check it out!

GIMP isn't shareware it is open source.

Also another very good free image editing program is PAINT.NET which you can download here: http://www.getpaint.net/

I have used Gimp before. It worked ok, especially for the price.

I have never had any need for an image editing tool any more advanced than MS paint. It lets me do everything I've ever needed to do to an image.
