I hosted this program tonight for a friend. It can be tricky finding it online. Figured I'd post the link here while it's live for anyone who wants it.
20/20 Image Editor:

It's a really good quick image editor. Most of us use it for editing screenshots and such. Good anitator and features and it's simple to use.
note* it's also a crappy screenshot utility, so I don't recommend using it for taking screenshots. UOSU is the program you want for taking combat screenshots.
That's here: Ultima Screenshot Utility:

Mooxe, that 20/20 might be a good one to add to the tools d/l's. Somone's always looking for it.
I use photoshop for more demanding work of course. But for quick screenie edits 20/20's been fantastic.
Never used GIMP. Sounds like good freeware for bigger jobs working with lots of layers and such. (No idea about the additional GTK Runtime thing required to run it.)
I really love it. Mostly because I usually boycott monopolizing companies like MS or Adobe. Ok it is not 100% photoshop yet, but 98%. The biggest advantage using GIMP is speed and space. The prog. consumes only up to 100 Mb disk drive and it really much faster than Photoshop...
Try those Linux-based programs with your Windows and you will see that today's freeware sometimes beats established mega-corps like Adobe.
IrfanView is a very fast, small, compact and innovative FREEWARE (for non-commercial use) graphic viewer for Windows 9x/ME/NT/2000/XP/2003/Vista.
It is trying to be simple for beginners and powerful for professionals.
IrfanView is trying to create new and/or interesting features in its own way, unlike some other graphic viewers, whose whole "creativity" is based on feature cloning, stealing of ideas and whole dialogs from ACDSee and/or IrfanView! (for example: XnView has been stealing/cloning features and whole dialogs from IrfanView, for 7+ years).
IrfanView was the first Windows graphic viewer WORLDWIDE with Multiple (animated) GIF support.
One of the first graphic viewers WORLDWIDE with Multipage TIF support.
The first graphic viewer WORLDWIDE with Multiple ICO support.

About
Paint.NET is free image and photo editing software for computers that run Windows. It features an intuitive and innovative user interface with support for layers, unlimited undo, special effects, and a wide variety of useful and powerful tools. An active and growing online community provides friendly help, tutorials, and plugins.
It started development as an undergraduate college senior design project mentored by Microsoft, and is currently being maintained by some of the alumni that originally worked on it. Originally intended as a free replacement for the Microsoft Paint software that comes with Windows, it has grown into a powerful yet simple image and photo editor tool. It has been compared to other digital photo editing software packages such as Adobe® Photoshop®, Corel® Paint Shop Pro®, Microsoft Photo Editor, and The GIMP.
The programming language used to create Paint.NET is C#, with a small amount of C++ for installation and shell-integration related functionality. The source code is available under the terms of the MIT License.
