Gimp-As this is free one
if only basic editing is needed use Picasa from google..

Let's talk about the best in the business:
The Adobe Suite, the set rocks. But a hefty price does it command.
CoralDraw suite too is pretty good.

Talking of the freeware, take a look at Photofiltre,[SIZE=-1] it's a complete image editing and effects package which is FREE!!! Almost Photoshop, without the layers concept. But there is a Photofiltre Studio software from the same person which includes layering concept.

Basic photo enhancing is easily achieved by the Picasa. It also finds/explores pictures within directories and can even make gift cds.

GIMP gave problems like hanging, non-response and also is lesser user-friendly. So I sorta ruled it out.

I understand Indyan that there are multiple threads posted by me on the same topic. But it was accidental posting because of clicking post multiple times. I had clicked many times because link was slow. I regret for it.

Moderators please delete the other thread posted by me titled 'Best Photo editing software'.

Ulead PhotoImpact 11
Corel Paintshop Pro Both are easy to use.

For simple editing like trimming, resizing and applying basic effects, Irfan View is the best. Moreover it handles hundreds of file formats.

I too use Photofiltre. It is an awesome, easy to use and free image editing software... It even has batch processing. For example, I download the digital camera pictures which are 3 or 4 MP quality. Then, I need to create a copy of web upload (800x600 resolution). I can automate this process and leave the rest to the software...

Features: Photoshop
Value for money: PaintShopPro
Simplicity: Photoshop

Overall Gimp is also nice considering its free. only it lacks simplicity.

Re: Best Photo editing Software

For most non-professional users (and even professional users), photoshop is not a viable legal option. For non-professional use, you can go for free software. Two of the best free software in this category are the GIMP and Photofiltre. GIMP is more comprehensive but has a steeper learning curve. Photofiltre is easier to use and has pretty much everything that non-professional users will need.

There are too many Photo editing softwares. If I include all of them, the poll itself will take half-page. Hence included only popular ones. No problems, you can leave the message here..
