    The Gimp is usually the one people go for: http://www.gimp.org/
    It's very full featured, but isn't the easiest to use. 

    Picasa has some basic photo editing and also organises your photos: http://picasa.google.co.uk/

    If you're on Windows, Paint.NET is pretty excellent (and, from memory, it has an easier learning curve than GIMP). I prefer GIMP myself, but then...I don't have a choice, 'cos I'm on Linux ;)

    I use paint.NET - very quick and simple - for me it has the advantage of being a lot like Paintshop Pro was, and that's what I used before.

    I used the Gimp for many moons ... and taught evening classes on photography using it. It's a fairly steep learning curve, but it has the advantage of doing pretty well whatever Photoshop can do. It has improved a hell of a lot in the last few years

  • There's some pretty nice web apps for photo editing these days, like Pixlr.

    mentioned them to mrs f, she's heard of GIMP and photo.net, so she will investigate.

    PAINT.NET is my personal favourite.

    Windows paint is enough for me atm though.
