can anyone suggest...

a free, and simple, photo editing program that we can download for both Windows XP and for Vista?

I just want something for resizing and adjusting quality of photos - nothing fancy like photoshop. is there such a thing?

any suggestions would be so helpful:)

thanks!!

I'm not sure about what all it can do but try http://picasa.google.com/

or go here and you might be able to find something http://www.filehippo.com/software/graphics/

I second Picasa! It's easy to use and works great.

I haven't used this one myself but I know of people who have used this to quickly resize a picture online:

For something with a few more bells and whistles to it, but that's free, I know a lot of people who use GIMP:

I'm not sure how hard it is to use, though. ;) Good luck! :D *hugs* ♥!

I know that photobucket now has these qualities, but I don't know if that's because you get them as a paid member or not. It's worth checking out :)

yea photobucket does, but my husband wanted something he could use on his computer. so I'll check out some easy downloads:)

thanks!!

I gave you a disk with Fireworks a while back, if you still have it. It works with both XP and Vista. I don't know if it's "simple," though.

yea I tried using Fireworks and failed miserably to understand it. I also felt the same way about Photoshop - too complicated for my simple brain. LOL!
but thanks:)

This program's good for resizing and adjusting quality, but if you ever feel like farting around, it's good for that too :D

Photofiltre program
