OT: good cheap photo editing programs for windoze

all,



finally got a shiny new digicam, tried it out today, took a few pix on the lowest res (1024x768) and wanted to shrink them down a bit to post them. I tried to reduce the size by using the "stretch/skew" command in paint, and they look absolutely awful. is there a better app for this? I wish I had my "beater" puter up with Linux so I could run them through the GIMP but it'll be a while before I get to that point.



thanks,



nate

If all you want to do is reduce the pixel count (which in turn reduces the size), then I recommend the freebie program "pixresizer" ... get it at

Snagit kicks ass on screenshots. When I resize images - they come out clean and clear and un-distorted.

Techsmith does very good software.
