any cool free programs out there to play with pictures?

[Hakuna Makarla]

I can not afford adobe, or the fancy tools that lets you crop, or decorate pics. I so want to do fun things with my pictures ( add hats, and captions colors, etc.) is there anything out there that is free and easy to use?

If you are looking into something along the lines of Adobe Photoshop you can try your hand at Gimpshop.

My computer didn't come with Adobe, but I get emailed so many pdf files that I ended up downloading it and upgrading it....all free.

The latest download/upgrade included Photoshop. Then after it downloaded, when I used it this afternoon, there was an option of upgrading THAT download. I haven't done it yet, but it's a great program.

When someone emails you a document on pdf, what happens? Will your computer open it?

Maybe I can email you a pdf, you can try to open it and get the download?

GIMP is really a great tool. It is almost as powerful as Photoshop. However, just like Photoshop, it is a bitch to learn.

I use Picasa a lot for the simple stuf.

For free apps I do love GIMP. I used that for a while on my PC at work. Great little app. It's actually got one feature I did love that Photoshop on my Mac doesn't, or at least, I haven't found it. With GIMP, you can click on some specific color, and it selects all the same color on the entire image.
For example:
I click something blue on the image, anything else that is blue in the image is selected with it. Comes in handy.

Photoshop Elements is great too.
