Paint.net
Paint.net is a free full scale image editing tool for Windows computers that was originally created as an undergraduate college design project. It is still supported and maintained by some of the alumni who originally created it. It also has an extensive online network of users who share tips and offer tutorials. While Paint.net does not allow you to create animation, it does allow you many other options, including the use of plug ins.

Photo Drop
Photo Drop is a great little widget that I have used for a while. It works on a Mac though the Dashboard widgets feature. It isn’t anything fancy and doesn’t have many features, but it is definitely handy. You can simply drag a photo to this Mac desktop widget. Once in the window, you can crop it, resize it and do some simple editing before saving it to the finder. To learn more about Photo Drop, clicker here: http://www.dropping.at/
PhotoPlus
PhotoPlus 6 is another full featured photo and imaging editing software. The folks at PhotoPlus are giving this great program away for free in the hopes that you will love it so much that you’ll want to upgrade to the next version. Still, there is a lot you can do in the free version, from adjusting the brightness and color balance to removing red eye.
