Windows 7: photo editors W7 compatable

Tried this on the photo, music forum, but got no response.. Was hoping some of you guys were more opinionated.

I am very very sad to say, I guess I have to put my beloved PhotoImpact down.. It is not working in Windows 7, and though there is 1 newer version then what I got, all I read was that Corel Draw is not supporting it's growth anymore.



Years ago when I compares PaintShop and a few others PhotoImpact won hands down in ease of use and functionality. I was happy to see the PaintShop programs are not unreasonably priced. I saw Corel Paint Shop Pro Photo X2 Ultimate for $55.00,

But, what photo editor would you suggest?? Oh we also use it to pull in scanner items also.

How about this, It works with Windows 7 and is FREE.. It is called Paint.NET I have not tried it myself but have heard that it is a really good photo editor..(Just read about it on this site here is the LINK)

Here is the ((LINK)) to there website if you are interested..

Hope this Helps..
