Digi Photo editing software

Hi,

Can anyone recommend a good straightforward basic photo editing program, please.
Emphasis is on the "basic".

Does not have to be a freebie.

Thanks.

Serif Photoplus (free download from FreeSerifSoftware - free software downloads) is as good as it gets (IMHO). Can do complicated if you want it to, but the basics are straightforward.

Really easy one to use is Canons own. I use it as well as Photoshop, but the likes of Photoshop or Gimp are hard to get into and NOT simple....... the Canon one will do most things and is free.... It will handle RAW files too........

OR though I have not tried it TESCO's do their own brand one and it is CHEEEEAAAPPP and it gets good reviews

Tesco.com - Page not found

This is he canon one, you would just one DPP

Canon Europe - Digital Photo Professional

Google's Picasa is also worth a look.
