On my Linux desktop machine I use GIMP whenever I need to edit images and pictures, and I am very happy with it. Right now I am traveling with my Windows laptop though, so I needed to figure what image editing software I would load here.
Photoshop is out of question. I only need to re-size and use minor graphic effects once in a while, so it would be nuts to spend hundreds of bucks for a professional solution. One possibility was to put GIMP on the laptop as well, but instead I decided to give a try on a software that I heard a while ago: IrfanView.
Now let me tell you: I am glad I did this. For Windows machines I am quite sure that IrfanView is one of the best free alternatives you will find around.
The software is incredibly light and fast, and it has most of the features that an average user would require. Additionally it supports a myriad of file formats (including .psd and .ico), and it is available in different languages.
If you are trying to find a free image editing software for your Windows PC, give IrfanView a try.
