kindkitFucking Microsoft removed its photo editor program from Windows 7! Jesus Christ on a Vespa, what sort of company removes functionality from its upgrades?
It doesn't even seem to be the case that they want to sell an extra program; they just tell users to go to the Windows Live Gallery, which apparently has some photo editing capabilities. But (a) I don't want to go to Windows Live Gallery just to edit a damn photo, and (b) from what I've read, WLG doesn't have the same editing features.
So, anybody got recommendations for a free photo editing program? I don't want anything as complicated as GIMP, I just want to be able to crop and resize, do some simple color adjustments (brightness, contrast, etc.), rotate, that sort of thing. What the Microsoft Photo Editor did, in other words.
ETA: After much wailing and gnashing of teeth, I've found the kind of simple, idiot-proof program I wanted: Photo!Editor.
