Good simple photo software?

by Robin Garr » Mon Jul 30, 2007 6:07 pm

(Also posted in the WineLovers forum.)

We have PhotoShop here and know how to use it, but my bride has a client who must be trained to size photos for web use, and we're looking for the simplest, most basic available software. Free or low-cost shareware a decided advantage. I like <b>Irfanview</b>, which is free and surprisingly powerful, but frankly, we're looking for something even simpler here.

There seem to be a lot of programs around that will let people make photo albums and slideshows from their snapshots, but most of them don't seem to make it easy to simply take a 3000x2000 pixel image straight from the cam and turn it into a 300x200 image for Web display.

Come to think of it, some participants in this forum might like to know of a program like this too, if such a thing exists.

Any ideas, anyone?

You might take a look at Picasa, Robin. It is a free ownload from Google that lets you do alot with your digital photos. Version 3.0 is out, just google Picasa.

i second Picasa.

I use Photoshop CS2 for image editing,
but Photoshop has never been incredibly friendly for quick file viewing, and photo management/organization.




Picasa is super user friendly.
