Photo Editors - The Top 5 Free Windows Photo Editors

Photosphere

In this article I have reviewed what is meant to be the best of the free photo editors available for instant download. I looked at about 15 all up and in my opinion these are the 5 I like the best.  
I have not placed them in any order of preference as they all have features that are similar but are used and implemented in different ways. 
If you are looking for a free photo editor have a look at these and download the one that meets you needs best.  

 1. GIMP for Windows 

GMP is a popular photo image editor it commonly referred to as the free Photoshop version, this software has a mass of features and like it's expensive brother it takes some time to get to know it well, but when you do you will love what it can do, it is worthwhile spending the time on it. 

2. Photosphere  

All I am going to say about Photosphere is that it is a simple filter based software meaning with just one click you can enhance your photo fantastic for the novice. 

3. Serif Photo Plus

Serif Photo Plus is generally given away as free software in the hope that users of the free software purchase the latest version I don't know how well this works for them but they have been using this sales tactic for a long time now. You can download a free, fully-functional version of Photo Plus without the need to upgrade at a later date unless you want the new features and a willing to pay for it. Works on Windows 95, 98, 98 SE, 2000, NT4, and XP. 

4. Paint.NET 

Paint.NET is free software for Windows 2000, XP, Vista, or Server 2003. Paint.NET was developed at Washington State University with financial assistance from Microsoft, this free software features drawing tools, special effects limitless undo and much more.  

 5. Photo Scape 

This free software is full of feature packed modules which includes including a viewer, editor, batch processor, File converter, ability to rename files, print layout module, color picker tool, and heaps more. Not bad overall for a free photo editor and the best part is that it is so easy to use. 
Please remember that for the best part most digital cameras come with editing software as part of the package, this software will generally be adequate for most people, But if your interest is getting the most out of your photos and creating things, this free software is a great start.
