Out of the free photo editing software , GIMP is the best . It is almost as good as photoshop, but a bit hard to use . The free programs works like photoshop is http://www.paint.net/ , but GIMP is more efficient than it .

What about Sumo Paint? It's kindof like paint.net but theres no download, its just a website.

I've had GIMP for editing my digital pictures for over 2 years now and there is rarely a day goes by that I don't use it. I've never needed Photoshop because there is always a plugin available online to enable GIMP to serve all of my photo editing needs.

Windows Live Photo Gallery is alright for basic stuff. I've always liked Paint.NET, has decent capabilities for photo editing.

XNView is very good.

XnView Software - Free graphic and photo viewer, converter, organizer

+1 for the GIMP. In fact, I actually prefer it to Photoshop.

1. $700.00 vs. FREE!
2. I prefer the way the path tool works in GIMP

I have full on PS on my Mac but just cannot justify paying for another full license for my Windows PC. GIMP was the way to go for me. I also run it, of course, on both my Linux boxes.

I have come across several sites which offer a 64 bit version of GIMP, but they have this these words of caution...

Warning: this is an experimental installer that hasn't been tested as much as the stable installer above. This installer includes 32 and 64-bit version of GIMP and also includes everything needed to run GIMP Python scripts.

Have any of you installed the 64 bit version of GIMP and if so how has it worked on your Win 7 x64 computer?

I'm running GIMP X64. No problems here. I did have to disable my anti-virus before running the installer.

I didn't even know that was out. I have been running GIMP 2.6.8 for quite some time on x64 with no issues.

I have had very good luck with PaintShop pro. It is not free but costs much less than photoshop and runs most photoshop plugins. Fairly powerful software for the money.

I'm running GIMP X64. No problems here. I did have to disable my anti-virus before running the installer.

This is great news I think I'll install GIMP 2.6.10 x64 tonight and thanks to having Sandboxie x64 and Comodo x64 for security I don't have an Antivirus to disable! I'll let you know how it goes...

After uninstalling GIMP 2.6.9 x32 with Revo Uninstaller Pro x64 I turned around and installed 2.6.10 x64 in seconds flat! I must admit that the GUI looks the same, but this x64 bit version is able to render a 42.2 MB PSD in 2.19 seconds! I can't speak for the stability of the program yet, but from what I understood from the initial pop-up was that it is the installer that is unstable and not the GIMP 2.6.10 x64 program.

I'm just thrilled to have GIMP x64 after using so many iterations of the x86 version for 2-1/2 years starting I believe with v2.4.

Gimps good , i also like Paint.net but i personally own Photoshop so, not much of a problem for me.

 

[Maxxwire]

So far GIMP 2.6.10 x64 is working just fine although it does take about 1 second longer to open than 2.6.9 x32 did. The list of files that it opens also appears to be somewhat different than what I am used to seeing.

well, I get your point... You want photo editing software as well as Photoshop but you'd like it to be free...
How's that possible/
If the free photo editing software are as good as ps, why do others pay for ps at such a high price??
