No secret – I love to ‘edit’ photos.
Another secret? Not everyone can afford Photoshop and various plugins to create ‘amazing’ art. Well, You might not create “amazing art”, but you will be able to do fun things to those holiday photos which you’re probably about to start shooting…
How about a free piece of editing software which offers:
- Frames
- Change size
- You can add texts and other items while editing with PhotoScape
- Auto Contrast
- Balloons
- Bloom
- Brightness controller
- Combining
- Cropping
- Filter
- Mosaic
- Vignetting Filter
- Support for creating Animated GIF
- Clone Stamp
- Red eye Removal
- And many more…
It offers various tools to do this:
- Viewer: It can view photos from your folder or create a slideshow
- Batch editor: You can batch edit multiple photos
- Page: You can merge multiple photos on the page frame to create one concluding photo
- Combine: You can even attach multiple photos vertically or horizontally to generate single concluding photo
- Animated GIF: Creates a final animated photo in .GIF format
- Print: It can print portrait shots and passport shots.
- Splitter: Splitter can wedge a photo into numerous pieces
- Screen Capture: A great tool for screen capturing.
- Color Picker: Color picking becomes very easy with PhotoScape.
- Rename: You can change photo file names in batch mode
- Raw Converter: It can convert RAW to JPG format
- Face Search: An awesome feature that can find similar faces on the Internet

Honestly? I figure this is just about as good as you’re going to find for free. Some really nice screenshots here: http://www.photoscape.org/ps/main/screenshot.php saved me the trouble of doing it.
Could the GUI be spiffier? Yes. Does it matter? Not one iota. The “Help” page even provides videos demonstrating the “how to” by list of feature.
Hope this helps with those photos!
