  photoscape is good
  
  there is also paint.net
  
  I sometimes use Irfanview, but it seems the images darken when you resize them to smaller. Good for combining 2 pics into one.

  Thanks Bajjerfan, I did a search and saw a lot of good things about PhotoScape...downloading it now.

  paint that comes with windows7 is grand these days
  
  snip comes with windows7
  
  windows7 photo gallery is great for image editing
  
  photoscape & paint.net serve their purposes quite well

  A good entry level but still powerful editing tool is photoshop elements. Can get around $80.

  GIMP is a free Photoshop look-alike.

  +1 for GIMP

  I like large size currency and silver dollars.

  I have several photo editing programs; Photoshop CS5, an ancient version of Paint Shop Pro, GIMP, Photoscape and others.
  For most photo editing I use Paint Shop Pro or, to a lesser degree, Photoscape.
  They are easy to use, unlike Photoshop and GIMP.
  However Photoshop and GIMP have a ton of features not available elsewhere.

  ... although I consider it a notch or two above entry level. Pretty easy to learn though, even for a non-techie like yours truly.

  I agree with you too on a notch or two above entry level. It is made as entry level for Adobe though and in my early days of photography I used it as a cheap alternative and was impressed with some sophisticated features. I use Lightroom now as a landscape photographer and it suits me well.

  Costco often has it with a nice rebate too.
