Paint.NET

Pretty cool little free photo editing application. This is what should ship with Windows instead of Windows Paint or with most digital cameras. It’s nowhere near a Photoshop killer for heavy retouching duties and special effects, but it’s very good for most basic tasks such as resizing, cropping and adjusting images. It’s lightweight enough that I may just start using it up for simple tasks. Even with a 2.8Ghz Pentium 4 machine and a gig of memory, Photoshop CS2 takes a few minutes to start up. It’s a PITA for a quickie photo crop and fix.
