Default Graphics software advice wanted


I recently installed Irfanview as this was a recommended app for
grahics manipulation. I want to crop non rectangular areas and feather
them but could not see any facilty for either option. Have I missed
this or am I expecting too much or are there other programs which do
this

Many thanks

Mike

2nd PhotoFiltre. It's a very powerful program for such a small package.

The GIMP does it - use the shear or change perspective tool
