Fast, easy to use, and free.

Another good FREE program is GIMP...don't be alarmed, it stands for GNU Image Manipulation program..

GIMP

True, and if you have a Vector fetish and don't like feeding Adobe's coffers (or arrghh! is not in your vocabulary)...

Or you can of course download hooky CS4 from a website that lists ISOs.

Do not support software piracy, its illegal and can get you in trouble. I do not support software piracy.

Well I get boxed copies of pretty much anything I want for free anyhow, and everyone knows about The Pirate Bay, Demonoid etc, the whole point of the thread was for people who wanted to sort their photos out for free and felt limited by the standard offerings such as Picasa.

Anyone can download CS4 for free of course, have fun sifting through the 18 rips of it, verifying the CRC hashes,

screwing with your registry, and then having to apply the third patch to stop it being disabled, while I bung in the original disc, make 10 clicks then cook lunch while it installs....

I have CS3 but probably use about 10% of it's features.

I will check digikam out, cheers for the suggestion Sensei.

I had a look at GIMP, and found it a little bit wanting in places, but would probably suit the needs of 95% in all fairness.
