- Picture Editing
- Posted by JustinCase on July 6th, 2008
I am looking for a good easy to use Photo Editor.
I use Gimp. But I am looking for one that will do Multiple things, RESIZE,
CROP, ROTATE, ADD TEXT, Maybe some effects.. without alot of know how for my
mother. Gimp for her is more complicated than she wants it. Looking for a
good alternative
Thanks

I would say that also as it is fairly simple & intuitive (except the
red eye removal, which I have yet to figure out how to use). But as I
posted in Discussions, I had a problem w/ a distinct reddish cast
(maybe everyone else's red eye removal detritus) when I printed pics
w/ my Canon Pixma MP470. So I am looking for a replacement, though not
urgently as I can edit w/ Irfanview & print w/ Windows Picture & Fax
Viewer.

Give Picasa2 a test-drive. It has a very gentle learning curve.

I find FastStone image viewer does all you want and more, and its free...

LightBox doesn't mention support for text. I recommend the following two
that are easy to use and support text handling and effects:
Artweaver

Serif PhotoPlus6

PhotoFiltre is also extremely easy to place text in a picture. Click the T
for text, set the color etc. and type what you want in the box and hit
enter. The you can drag the text and position it any way you wish.
PhotoFiltre's and other editors don't compare to the quality I get out of
LightBoxFree however. It's the best I've seen from a free editor...and
many pay editors.

what about paint.net ?
it does a lot of things and does lot of the things gimp does but the gui is
better organized and the program anyway is simpler (I'd say a lightweight
version of gimp)

PhotoFiltre is indeed a nice editor but it misses my recommended list
because it doesn't handle layers.

Paint.NET is indeed a nice editor but it doesn't allow custom rotations
and doesn't offer automatic drop-shadows for text. Both of those
features were mentioned or implied by the OP.

Yeah, I was mainly refering to placing text easily. I use various programs
to do various things, as I have not found one program that does it all
well.
I tried PhotoMeister 2 and it has but one autofeature that I can find with
absolutely no control of it. It does a nice photoalbum though.
