Hey, thanks for sharing these programs mate. I am certainly going to try a few out, because photoshop is a bit of BIG program if you have to just make a few little changes to a photo or two! That cleanerzoomer caught my eye, although I am sceptic about it I'll come back and report after I try it..

MORE FREE PHOTO MANIPULATING SOFTWARE

Want to print WALL SIZE POSTERS?

Try BLOCKPOSTERS or RASTERBATOR

You can load up any image up to about 1Mb in size and then the programme resizes your photo to anything from regular poster size to 25 metres!!

If you download Rasterbator it will let you use files bigger than 1MB

Each of these programmes will print your photo on A4 sheets and the you can assemble them together as one huge photo.

WARHOLIZER

Upload an image and the site creates a series of 9 mini Andy Warhol images - just like he did with Marilyn Monroe.

I found that increasing the contrast of the oriinal photo works best and gives a better result. Also, try to crop your photo to a square with some border space around the subject before uploading.

RESIZING

RZIZR

This one lets you resize by remove unnecessary content from photo's or by stretching natural parts o fthe photo to enlarge the picture. Upload JPEG, PNG or GIF files less than 2880 pixels high and wide. By far one of the best freebies I have used.

Hi Steve,
GIMP does support PSD files and it also supports filter factory. I guess its as good as Photoshop or may be better since its free
I think one of friend told me that It can even edit Movie files like avi, which I think Photoshop doesn't allow.

Personally , I have only used GIMP to make some button images for a website, So I can't comment much on the functionality part. I guess theres a documentation available online. Google for it .

I've used Ulead PHOTOIMPACT and I think that is also good for photoeditings. I've been using PHOTOIMPACT since version 4, so I find it quite comfortable as far as the controls are considered.
Its around $50 but since I got it free , I am happy with it.

I've also tried Bibble and Adobe Lightroom for editing RAW images. great piece of softwares and since they support my camera, I guess anyone can use it.

thanks for share,but in Photoshop can make all,I make monster from one my picture,lol

I have found a free vector editor called inkscape.
It's actually a pretty powerful editor and allows you to create some high-quality vectors.

Thanks for the list. It really helps to have this great list of photo software.

Cheers for the links. A good alternative from the other more powerful programs. But personally I tend to favour Paintshop Pro and Photoshop for most of my photo editing material.
