Free Photo Editing Software

Do you need to spruce up some of your photos, but can’t afford to spend $200-$600 on photo editing software such as Photoshop or Corel? Well, there is free photo editing software out there that have a lot of the same bells and whistles as the more expensive programs. Some are even integrated with the best online image hosting services:

Picasa

Google is known world-wide for its innovative (and free) software and web services. Picasa is Google’s free photo editing software and just like its brothers and sisters, Picasa is another Google baby that is pure genius.

Picasa automatically searches folders on your computer for photo and video files and neatly arranges them on the desktop. It also creates an album for all of your Blogger images so that you have everything at your fingertips when you are ready to edit photos.

With Picasa you will be able to change the colors of your photos, fix flaw, crop and more. It also has a lot of jazzy features that goes beyond simple photo editing, such as video making, picture collages and more. Learn more about this great software (and one of the best online image hosting services) from our Picasa review.


SeeHere Desktop

SeeHere is a photo site based around the idea that every photo should be embellished and preened until it shines. Its downloadable desktop version works with this same idea and allows users to edit and shine up photos in a number of artistic ways.

SeeHere’s effects option, for example, turns photos into cartoons, nostalgic black-and-whites, vivid bursts of color and more. The free photo editing software also lets you rotate, crop and adjust brightness, gamma and contrast. It is a good choice for those looking to edit photos quickly without having to learn how to use photoshop software. Simple is the name of the game.

Kodak Gallery EASYSHARE Software

Kodak is a name that is linked with quality photos. Their editing software helps your photos look fantastic, even if you have no idea what you are doing.

The one-click editing system fixes eye, lighting, contrast, cropping and more automatically. Kodak’s free software also features Facial Retouch. This option allows you to give the subjects in your photos an “electronic facelift.”

In addition to editing features, Kodak EASYSHARE Software includes creative photo projects that you can make on your computer, such as cards, invitations and scrapbook pages.

With these three free photo editing software options, there’s no reason for your photos not to look their best. Learn more about all the other great things you can do with your photos with our online image hosting reviews. Or enjoy some additional photo tips and tricks:
