What is the "Best" freeware photo editor?
Click to expand...

There are a view good ones out there, each with their own strengths and
weaknesses.
Depending on what you search in a photo editor, the one that is the 'best'
might differ.

For me, it is PhotoFiltre (www.photofiltre.com)

but if you just want a list of good photo editors, you also might want to
check out:

IrfanView (www.irfanview.com) (I rather prefer it as an image viewer, not as
an image edtor as such)
XNView (www.xnview.com)
PhotoPlus (www.freeserifsoftware.com)
The Gimp (www.gimp.org) (The most compleete one, but I don't realy like it)
If you are a good googler, you even might find the last freeware version of
Paintshop Pro (version 4.15)

Myself, I use a combo of IrfanView and Photofiltre. I have set up
Photofiltre as my external editor for IrfanView. It's so fast it seems
like it's all one program.
 
I've seen an unrestricted version of PSP 5 on magazine CDs.

What is the "Best" car?

Some criteria would be useful otherwise it's essentially what the responder
uses. What's best for me may be totally useless for you.
 
Speaking as a complete novice in such things, what features does
Photofiltre have that aren't available in IrfanView, and that you find
so compelling?


Cheers, Phred.

Photfiltre is a full graphics suite whereas Irfan View is a graphics
viewer with filters and basic editing capability. Myself, I use both.
You can make Photofiltre your external editor for Irfan View like so:

Photofiltre is so fast it feels almost like the combination is a
single program. It's an astonishing amount of graphics editing power
for free.

I have found" photofilter just recently (after asking this group),
and it has a lot of features for free.

I use Iview for viewing pictures but it surely is not a fill photo
editor as photofiltre is.You can't even create a new picture in Iview.

Well, you can create a new image in Irfanview using image>create etc. in
wich you can paste something and add some text, but Photofiltre is defintely
the better editor, it's a great program.

Mostly the ease of use, but specifically the selection shapes as well
as cloning and resampling capabilities. Other programs have these
features, but usually not all of them.
Also, when compared to the other freeware editors, PhotoFiltre
doesn't hold back on its features and is easy to obtain.
