Photo Forum / Digital Photography / Digital Photo / October 2005Bare bones photo editor
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.

Check out Irfanview at http://www.irfanview.com/ >Check out Irfanview at http://www.irfanview.com/ 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. deg deg > Could anyone suggest a very basic photo editor that will let me get in and > out of the program in a snap?

I like GIMP. It's a free open source competitor to Photoshop. Good for most platforms (Mac OS X, Unix, Windoze) http://www.gimp.org On 07/23/2005 1:29 PM, in article GbSdnXBppaQzNX_fRVn-ig@comcast.com, > Could anyone suggest a very basic photo editor that will let me get in and > out of the program in a snap?

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: http://www.irfanview.com/ I suspect that 90+% of the readers of this group are using it or have tried it hope it helps!! timM > Could anyone suggest a very basic photo editor that will let me get in and > out of the program in a snap?

Read the reviews - Hands down Favorite! Here's a free app that wont work for brightness, but it will let you batch resizing images in a hurry. Just drag and drop them all onto a button. http://www.scrammit.com/software.htm |
