Photo Editors - Free and Excellent
The thread discussing the display of license plates made me think of this. I discovered this "free" photo editor a few years ago. It is well maintained and has many features only available in more expensive packages (Photoshop comes to mind). I use it on a daily basis.
Try it out: http://www.irfanview.com/ Feel free to expand this list with any that you favor! |

The Gimp is a very powerful photo editing program. Not as easy to use as Irfanview, but more powerful. Can do about 80% of what you can do in Photoshop, and it's free. Photoshop is more powerful, and more user friendly, but free is good as well.

Great Idea Sam!
Some free stuff I know about. I usually take pictures at the maximum size my camera can do and so they are rather huge files. While I do keep a set uneditied I also re-size them. The best multiple image re-sizer I found is MIR this is fairly easy to use and it's pretty fast. There are a lot of other options you can do like adding text to each photo (aka watermarks) and so on. AND If you like pano's (multiple shots taken to expand a landscape) Autostitch is an awesome and FREE program that will stitch them together for you! Example: Bay Area, Nor Cal. If I remember any more I'll throw them up

GIMP didn't work for me, it shuts down after I try and import a picture....don't think I have a virus, but I could be wrong.
