    I accidentally deleted my gf's picture editing program earlier today trying to clean up the system a bit. I believe it was Dell Pic Editor or something similar. Are there any free simple alternatives?? Any help would be great.

    If you're good, GIMP.

    Picasa, GIMP, or if short term go for Photoshop trial; use and abuse, then uninstall.

    Paint.Net is also a good one.

    GIMP has a steep learning curve, but it's powerful. :D

    As people have been saying, GIMP is powerful, Paint.net is not as powerful but a lot easier to use out of the box.
