Hi
         I know that quiet a few members are on the lookout for good photo editing software at a price that doesn't break the bank, so why not have a look here.

http://www.techsupportalert.com/best_46_free_utilities.htm

they have the following to say

          Best Free Digital Image Editor 
I used to recommend The Gimp but after dozens of letters from less-experienced users who couldn't manage to install it, I've decided to set it aside until they simplify the installation process. In its place I have two recommendations: First there is Paint.net, an amazingly sophisticated piece of work from computer science students at Washington State University. It's just about as powerful as The Gimp but a lot easier to use and install. It is however only for Windows 2000 and you'll need Microsoft's bulky .NET framework installed on your PC. My second choice is PhotoPlus 6.0 from a company called Serif. It's an impressive piece of work; again it installs easily and it's loaded with features including layer support. In fact, it looks and feels like a "lite" version of Adobe PhotoShop except that it is relatively easy to use. I say "relatively" because graphics editing is by its nature, not simple.

              all well worth a try

The open CD (http://www.theopencd.org) has a windows port of the GIMP which is quite straightforward to install, as well as tutorials and Carey Bunks' book "Grokking the GIMP".  It's free to download & is highly recommended.
