Any opinions on the best bet for free photo editing software? I have used Gimp and it wasn't too bad but a little slow. I do not like Picasa by Google.

Paint Shop Pro is a nice program, gives you vector tools as well as intuitive photo editing. Vio Software has it for $16.29 with free shipping (OEM version). There's a newer version out but it's a lot more money.

Vio is legit. I get all my software there and have for years. Often have the best prices if they've got what you need.
You can download a demo from Corel's website to try before you buy. It's a good program and what you learn there will translate to Photoshop if you go in that direction.

I like Artweaver: Download
It's free to download.

Paint.net, another free download, is also popular: Paint.NET - Download

If you have Windows, the Windows photo gallery software has a few photo-fixing options. And you could use Windows Paint if you need to do a bit of retouching.

Actually when I am ready to buy the Ultimate version looks like fun and it isn't too costly. Thanks for mentioning Paint shop

I've been using Paint Shop for years and I've yet to find anything I can't do with it. It has a video editor built in.

File/Software Products/Animation Shop.

Fairly basic, but it's fun to play with.

GIMP! Been using it for years... I tried a few others for a short time and went back. It's great that theres a plug-in that will allow you to use the Photoshop ones.
