Does anybody know of good photo editing software that is free
Something that has a clone brush and is not too complicated

although I did not find it easy. Ed.

FastStone Image Viewer, despite its name, is actually a well-featured and free image editor. One of the tools is an effective clone brush.

Hi, don't be fooled by the name the programme is excellent. Chasys Draw IES

If you're in a hurry or not on your computer, I recommend Pixlr: http://pixlr.com/ It's made by Autodesk, and it's surprisingly easy and fun to use.

Watch out for phoney GIMP downloads that add unwanted software to your computer. To avoid rubbish go to: http://www.gimp.org/downloads/ go to the fourth line down and click the FTP link for a clean download.

Many people think that GIMP is difficult to learn, far from it. The best up-to-date tutorials I found are at: http://www.gimp2tutorials.info/downloads.htm

The tutorials are in Pdf format so you can print out just the information you need. Everything is explained in a simple steps 1,2,3 etc. You'll be flying with GIMP in no time. BTW, everything is free. That's right you don't even have to give your email address.

Hi Chip
I cannot get the FTP link to work. Do you have any other link to Gimp that will download without the rubbish?

Go to the same page through the link and click 'Download GIMP 2.8.10' which is highlighted in yellow. I tried the FTP link and you are right, it has stopped working. Sorry about that.
