Bare bones photo editor

[Michael]

Archived from groups: alt.comp.periphs.dcameras (More info?)

Could anyone suggest a very basic photo editor that will let me get in and
out of the program in a snap?

Really all I want to do is open a photo(s), resize and adjust brightness
and that's about it.

I know most programs will do much more but I want a good basic, no overkill
program.

Thanks!

A very easy to use photo editor AND, it's freeware though you can
donate to the author and I would encourage you to do so.

Xnview
www.xnview.com
It's very much like Irfanview, but having used both fairly extensively, I
much prefer Xnview.

I like GIMP. It's a free open source competitor to Photoshop. Good for
most platforms (Mac OS X, Unix, Windoze)

I recently downloaded Picasa2 (free photo organizer and editor from Google)
and think it's fabulous.

I've used IrfanView for yrs - mostly for viewing, resize, rotates, etc.: it
is fairly small, allows resizing, rotations, color depth, greyscale,
flipping & much more, about as basic as you will want and is pretty
intuitive and converts between image types: JPG, BMP, many more - look here:

I suspect that 90+% of the readers of this group are using it or have tried
it

hope it helps!!
