Look at Krita, part of koffice, handles 16 bit and many others. Looks like
earlyish days, very interesting. Not sure if windows users will be in
luck.

Does the software included with a camera purchase count as freeware? I'm
fairly impressed with Canon's Digital Photo Professional. It has some major
omissions, notably redeye correction and small-increment rotations. But its
exposure manipulation capability is very good, and its cropping tool is the
best I've seen.

Canon's Digital Photo Professional... and its cropping tool is the best I've seen.

Faststone Image Viewer has the best cropping tool I have seen so far.
Their redeye tool is surprisingly good too. It easily and quickly
fixes all but the worst cases of redeye.

What sets DPP apart from most of the cropping tools I've tried to use is that
it lets you create a frame at an arbitrary fixed aspect ratio and then both
easily re-size it and easily move it around.

Good question. I'd say no as that software isn't easily downloadable (I
would think) so let's restrict it to free software that can be downloaded.

I have a summary which isn't finished yet as shown below ... but I haven't
added Susan's information yet ...

We know. We know. Let's keep "free" free of esoteric encumberences. Free
mearly means, in this thread, that it doesn't cost any money.

Hi Susan,
Some of these "freeware" photo editing programs listed come from Corel (eg
photopaint) so I'd be very suspicious of the bait-and-switchware inherent
in them. Are you SURE all of these are what we'd consider Windows freeware
and not adware or switchware?

Hi Susan,
Some of these "freeware" photo editing programs listed come from Corel (eg
photopaint)

I don't know what app you're referring to - more info please.

AFAICT there are only 3 Corel apps listed on the ACF program information
pages. See the full list of apps sorted by company:
http://www.pricelesswarehome.org/acf/P_ProgramIndex.php?sortby=Company

The programs are:

Corel InfoCentral
http://www.pricelesswarehome.org/acf/P_ORGANIZERS.php#1383
(Freeware) LFW (v 7.0)

Corel Presentations
http://www.pricelesswarehome.org/acf/P_GRAPHICS.php#1384
(Freeware) (Spyware)? LFW (v 9)

Snapfire
http://www.pricelesswarehome.org/acf/P_GRAPHICS.php#4357
(Liteware) (Registerware) (free) Pivacy waiver: the EULA requires
consent to monitoring; data collection; advertising solicitations from
third partiy marketing partners

so I'd be very suspicious of the bait-and-switchware inherent

in them. Are you SURE all of these are what we'd consider Windows freeware
and not adware or switchware?

I've shown the "ware descriptions" above. LFW = last Freeware version.
See the notes at the bottom of each page and ACF's Ware Glossary if
you're unsure about how to interpret other notations.
http://www.pricelesswarehome.org/acf/WareGlossary.php

The ware descriptions are accurate "to the best of my knowledge and
belief". They're based on info posted in ACF and/or info available on
the internet.

If you have to BUY something to be *entitled* to a "free" program it's
neither free nor Freeware. (Software that's included in a camera
PURCHASE is not free - it's part of the package you BUY.)
