Does anyone know if there is a decent freeware picture editor available?

[Sabin]

I want to have the capability to edit pictures, but I don't have any tools sufficient for the job, due to their age.

I need new tools, preferably freeware, since I can't afford the cost of buying software.

gimp is what i use to convert pictures. might be usefull if you can't find an editer with the right format.

I think Paint Shop Pro has a demo. Not sure how long it Lasts, tho.

Otherwise, a search with keywords, "editor" "freeware" "photo" and/or "paint" might be fruitful.

Paint Shop Pro does have a demo. It will time-out after 30 days, so work fast.

I use ImageForge, which is a pretty good free paint program.

Any way to disable that ghastly marble image used as the background of many parts of the Image Forge windows?

I recommend Gimp for windows, you can find it at http://www.gimp.org there should be a link to "gimp for windows" when you scroll down a bit.

It has almost all the functions of expensive programs like photoshop, but it's free :-). There are a few issues, like it doesn't work very well with graphic pads like wacom etc, but other then that it's a great program.

Up through Version 5.2, they gave it away for private use, and I believe made it open source, which allowed others to build off of thier code. Open Office did just that & continued where Sun Left off. The latest Star Office is no longer free, but Open Office is.
I personally still us MS Office 97, But if I didn't, either Open Office or 602 would work fine.
