Something for quick editing of images for the web, that isn't as expensive as photoshop but is better than paint.net

gimp? irfranview? anyone?

I worked in a linux only web development team before, during which time I became familiar with gimp (after a bit of an annoying learning curve unlearning years of photoshop).

Basically it's a good option once you get used to it.

Or if you just want to try a free, online photoshop clone there's pixlr:

handy if you want to just resize, crop etc. Nothing fancy!

Photoshop elements is grand for the absolute basics and the files are compatible with Photoshop which is very handy.

Nothing, you can get a demo version of Photoshop for a month and then pay for it by the month, It would seem GIMP is the way to go, what is it you need done ? I'm sitting on my arse applying for retouching jobs at the minute ?

it's just for editing images for on here

Cropping, resizing and the likes, seems GIMP is pretty grand.

it's top of the list alright

just use pixlr - its online and you dont need to download anything.

for basic manipulation - e.g. batch resizing, etc., i find fast stone image viewer very good.
can read RAW files too.

I'm a big big fan of irfanview - it's been my default image viewer and basic editor since about the year 2000.
But *then* there's Photoshop CS2: http://www.redmondpie.com/download-adobe-photoshop-cs2-for-free-legally-while-you-still-can/

As you see, there are many free image editing tools online. But I don't suggest you to use them to do with your editing work. Because I always believe that the free tools online do not have so many professional functions as the paid ones. And it is said that some of them might contain some virus. Check some free trials of the paid professional imaging tool to edit images first before you make your final decision if possible. I also suggest you choose one whose way of processing is simple and fast. It can save a lot of time for you. . I hope you success. Good luck.
