which photo editor
ok, so have three diff free photo editors. gimp, infra something, paintnet The main thing I do like to do (maybe it will be easier if I tell you what I use the most) I use sharpen, adjust brightness, deleting the background,crop. I have basic skills. Once I find something that does that, I can take my time to learn the rest one skill at a time. I did have a program (bling it) that I basically only used to delete my backgrounds, but I no longer have it...........Does anyone know which of these editors, or any other free editors that are somewhat simple to use that do these things? paint.net seems a little unuser friendly, lol.

Gimp is not the easiest of the ones you have but it is the most powerful. There are lots of online tut's for Gimp. It's almost as good as Photo Shop.

then it cuts everything else out of the picture, and it looks like you took a picture of it hanging in thin air, just like in the magazines.

yes, gimp was reccomended, but i fought with it so much last week tryingto resize a damn pic to put on here, that I delted the whole darn thing....will get it again, I think it was Kevan who told me about it and said it was almost as good as photoshop. I think another thing that annoyed me was trying to crop the photo was annoying, and that is usually the easiest thing to do on any photo thing. I think you had to click on a specific triangle or something, but the darn lines that showed were so skinny and black (the same color as my background) that they got lost in the pic, and i couldnt even do it. thats ok though, when I want to show pics in here, will import to photobucket, and do everything else on gimp...

Hey Kelly,
To resize a photo in Gimp, click on "image" at the top. Then then "scale image". When the box pops up just put in the width you want (I usually do 350 or so for LE). Then just click "Scale". It will decide the length for you.

Try Google picasa. It is awesome. It finds all photos on your computer and puts them in one place. You can crop photos really easily. It has batch edits and other stuff like that but I haven't figured it out yet.

The one thing I don't like about Picasa is that it loads ALL your pictures, there doesn't seem to be a way to shut that off.
You can download
Microsoft Photo Editor 3.01
Photo pos pro isn't bad for a basic editor program
