HI and thanks - I have downloaded Photoscape and think I would get used to it OK but when I had edited 40 pics it wouldn't do any more and I assumed that the free version only allowed a trial of 40. Had a look into it it says you can buy for $29.99 which I didn't want to do. Do you burn them to disc / card after editing ??

It sounds like a PITA, but I actually use 3 different editing programs (because different ones do different things better than some of the others).

Windows Gallery - basic editing, adjusting exposure, colour balance, overall saturation etc.

PhotoFiltre - resizing, touching up (eg removing dust etc that found its way into the frame, isolating sections to adjust colour temp, saturation). (This is actually a fairly comprehensive editing program, I just don't like the way it adjusts exposure, which I invariably have to do so use Gallery for that).

PicMonkey - for the finishing touches, mostly background work and occasionally collages for gallery pics. All of the basic functions are free, but it's online and I recommend having Adblock installed if you're using the free version (otherwise you can find you get interrupted with video ads).

It is meant to be completely free, I have been using it for over a year ad edited thousands of pics with it and never had a problem. Where did you download from? I use another free program called Paint.net which is more for creating and editing graphics, that has a warning that the program is completely free and if you paid for it you should ask for your money back, maybe Photoscape works the same?

Irfanview has been around for years.

It's a bit more complicated but will also hook up to your scanner

Thanks \ - I am getting on (persevering) with Photoscape at the moment and think I will be OK with it. Don't know what the glitch was before but I think it will be good. Will ha ve a squizz at the others too. Cheers
