I use PSP for my own photo editing but at the office where I cannot install programs (or bring them from home) I’m locked down to making do with what is available.

And that may mean getting a screencap and editing it down (cropping, resizing, saving as BMP, JPG, or PNG, or adding some descriptive text).

Not fancy, not “artistic” but a small down and dirty get the job done tool.

And the hipsters on the hostile fakebook were telling people (A) buy a new computer, and (B) subscribe annually to a Photoshop license. Anyone unwilling to do so must be “cheap” and shouldn’t touch a computer.

PhotoFiltre is a complete image editing and effects package, that will not only surprise you with features but also with the fact that it is free (for personal use).

It comes with many features that rival some commercial packages, as well as additional add-on that can be downloaded from the web site.

PhotoFiltre offers all the standard editing features (selection, clone brush, paint brush etc.) as well as a large selection of image effects, photo masks, image adjustments, thumbnail browser and much more. The program also supports batch processing to apply filters, sizing, adjustments and transformations to a large number of images at once.

Photo Filtre 7 now supports layers and transparency with Alpha Channel

I deal with maritime photos which are oftentimes taken from a rolling, heaving deck, and when the horizon is not horizontal it is very obvious.

Irfanview (Free!) allows fine rotation of images one degree at a time.

That in itself is a great tool.
