I am trying vicmans photo editor. I want a free prog to muck around with
photos and do special effects e.g. emboss etc AND be easy enough for 7 year
olds to manage without layers and complicated menus. Any ideas please folks?

I recently reinstalled the adobe reader and it came packaged with a free
photo album (program). It allows some instant buttons for color correction
etc.
I don't know if it would have enough functions for what your looking for
but it might do the trick.

Babya Photoworkshop is fully featured-yet under 2mb with vb runtimes and has
many image effects:

and you could truy some of its options to crop-[lus under 2mb with vb
runtimes installed-smaller than the gimp.

If you don't have tabtl32.ocx-p://www.it-mate.co.uk/main_content/ocx.asp

I went to the trouble of getting the app and
entering the password
provided on site. A3011-X764229
It is an editor which works in layers, and saves
as bitmap or
proprietary format. I deleted it immediately .
It is of no use to
me, and hardly intuitive or simple which was the
original request.

IrfanView (http://www.irfanview.com/) is a nice free viewer but has some
simple editing available as well (be sure to get the plugins too).

The Image menu has a number of operations, especially on the Effects
submenu. Might be just the thing for a 7 year old to play with, depending
on what you need it to do.
