    I didn't see a thread or group that fit this exactly. So I will ask here...

    Does anyone have suggestions for a VERY easy to use graphics software
    package, something cheap. My wife has tried adobe essentials and stuff. To
    complicated. She wants something that will resize EASILY and crop when needed.

    She should be getting her 1520 sometime soon. Mine is already here and I love it. Oh yeah, the graphic software has to work on vista.


    I really appreciate your time and help.

    Thanks so much!

    if its just resizing + cropping you need then you dont need to pay for anything. Infranview is a free program that is actually quite powerful. if you need a photoshop-esque editor then i suggest GIMP which is also free. google both these and you should be able to findit.

    I'll look into it but what she wants to do does not get much easier than that. It is one drop down for either and it is the same one. If you have Adobe use it, I know it is all the other options that are confusing her. If you want I will open up Adobe and give the simple steps to do it. There are many even free that will do what she want's. Cnet is a great source, go to downloads and photo editing.
