I recently deleted the Corel program that came with my computer and was wanting to know if anyone knew of another program, that I could use to open photos with. Thankd

Google offer Picasa which gives basic photo features.

I use Serif PhotoPlus which is a free download for home users and offers all the features I want - you can do pretty much all the "normal" photo manipulations that you might want and it handles almost all picture formats I've thrown at it.

Picasa is good for a free, basic "fix the redeye and add contrast" editor. Also makes it easy to email photos.

d00d, Irfanview. www.irfanview.de

It's such a fantastic program. It opens damn near anything and saves to damn near anything, with options out the wazoo. It still remains classy though, and is lightweight. It also opens text and some video/audio!!!

It really isn't a manipulator though. You can crop some stuff and do a ton of resize/resample sorts of things, and while there are tons of options I have never dug into, it's safe to say it is no photoshop, PSP, or even mspaint.

Picasa if you want to organize and do basic editing to photos. Irfranview if you need to open/convert some of the more obscure file formats.

I recommend ACDSee... I've used it for a while... I like it. It's not free, but it works...

If you just want to open them then you should just use whatever came with your OS.

If you want to manipulate them and want something like Photoshop for free I'd suggest GIMP

Photoshop is the best for organizing pictures. I can locate a picture in just a few minutes with its browser. I've tried Picasa too. It's hard to beat free. Name your folders and photos bery easy to bring them up that way
