PhotoFiltre - Free Photo Editing and Effects

Have any plans for those summer vacation photos or photos from the previous school year?

Take a look at PhotoFiltre. It's freeware and I have looked at a couple of different sites and all I can find are rave reviews. Did I mention that it is FREE (you probably know by now what that means to me)!!! Take a look at the review on SnapFiles:

Photo Editing and Effects
Our Rating: (Excellent)

PhotoFiltre is a complete image editing and effects package, that will not only amaze you with features but also the fact that it is free (for personal use). It comes with many features that rival some commercial packages, as well as additional add-on that can be downloaded from the web site. PhotoFiltre offers all the standard editing features (selection, clone brush, paint brush etc.) as well as a large selection of image effects, photo masks, image adjustments, thumbnail browser and much more. The program also supports batch processing to apply filters, sizing, adjustments and transformations to a large number of images at once. PhotoFiltre comes with modern, well designed interface and is well suited for everything from simple resizing to advanced photo editing.

Pros: Great editing features; easy-to-use; fast loading
Cons: Does not support layers; no support for Photoshop filters Freeware

Update: I'm still trying to talk my kids into several vacation options, i.e. a trip down the virtual highway in New Zealand, or another virtual trip, but they aren't buying into my "technologically advanced" ideas. I think I'll pull out my copy of Touring Oklahoma and let them decide on a few local trips this summer. They will have input and learn something as they research the possibilities. Nothing like a little inadvertent learning...just don't tell them!

Thanks to Patricia H. for the info on PhotoFiltre!
