try paint.net or gimp paint.net is the better choice though, in my opinion.

Seconded - Paint.Net is a great piece of software and should allow you to do pretty much anything you want with your photos. It's also good for editing out blemishes and things like that.

Photoshop Elements is excellent value for money.

I'm familiar with the Gimp but have never used Paint.net, I'll give it a try. Is there any particular factors where it scores higher than Gimp?

I have used Gimp works fine. But nothing beats photoshop, of course if you have the resources.

Cheers!

Try pixlr, works in your browser and does most of the stuff photoshop elements will do and it's free.

We have Adobe photoshop (£300 - £400), and have also tried some of the serif software, which have a similar package photoplus, if you google photoplus x3 you can pick it up for £9.99 and it is very good, a lot of similar tools to photoshop.

Gimp2 for me, some of the controls are a bit different to start with but it's very versetile once you work out what it can do, and it's free.

Personally i have always used photoshop, the new photoshop CS 5.5 works seamless with photo editing.

With a click of 3 buttons you can have a object selected and refine the edges.

It is worth every penny in my view.

If you want to resize objects and you use a mac.

Best thing to do is use Mac Automator to create a script that auto re-sizes a image to the input you wish once dropped into the folder This is great if you need to re-size 100's of images to the same size for a website.

I use GIMP, it is a very powerful tool and is good if you want to do heavy duty stuff.

For simpler tasks I use Photofiltre.

Both are free.
