free photo editing software?

[bigluelok]

well im a complete noob to photography. I am wondering is there any good free software? remember i have no knowledge of photo editing and i would rather not go out and spend $100+ for editing software. I want to get used to editing even if its just free software.

thanks in advance

Luis

Picasa by Google, works great -and it's free.

Otherwise there's always the software your camera came with.

The Gimp is one of the better free image editors. I have been using the Linux
version for years, but it is also available for Windows.

Check out GIMP - The GNU Image Manipulation Program

Yeah - GIMP is good. Get the UFRaw plugin for it if you want to work on RAWs.

edit
UFRaw can also be used as a stand-alone program.

also , photoscape

If you watch the ads for Staples, Office Depot, etc. you can sometimes buy Photoshop Elements or Paintshop Pro for $50-60.

They are both have more features than GIMP.

Irfanview is free. It's a cool little program if you download some of the plugins for it.

Irony can be so... Ironic.

Hmm, most of your stuff is meh, but you've got some useful photos. Thanks for not plastering watermarks all over them.
