Irfanview is Ok, I hear Gimp is stellar.

I just d/l'ed that last but haven't had the time to play. They also have forums and additional plugins available for free.

I've used Ifranview before to add quick text to a BS pic or resize for an avatar.

GIMP is really good. It's set up a little different than Photoshop but it works very well for a free program.

You might want to look at GIMPshop (http://www.gimpshop.com/). It's GIMP with an interface that mimics Photoshop as much as possible.

As long as you're not doing commercial printing, it should work well.

I haven't used it, but from what I understand Picasa (picasa.google.com) has editing tools that would likely do most of what is typically needed, i.e. cropping, red-eye removal, enhancing, etc.

I'll add to the pile of recommendations for Gimp / WinGimp.

Yes to Picasa. It is simple enough for most people's needs, is a free download
and they even have a version for Mac.
