    Hello,
    can anyone recommend a free, downloadable photo editing software, with no strings attached? Doesn't need to be complicated but need to be able to reduce file sizes, crop, re-size, etc.

    Picasa suits most such needs unless you need retouching, spot corrections etc.

    MS paint will crop and re size smaller. Gimp is free but I have never used it.

    Agree on Picasa. Used it for a long time before upgrading to Lightroom.

    Note you can used it for retouching and spot corrections. Great piece of software for storing and labeling your photos too.

    I use Gimp and is does the job. Takes a little bit to get used to it but not too bad. Plenty of tutorials out there.

    Picasa - http://picasa.google.com/ (Similar to LightRoom, Made by google, free of charge and very good!)

    GIMP - (GNU Image Manipulation Program, Essentially a free version of Photoshop! :) ) http://www.gimp.org/
