I need some recommendations on some decent image-photoediting software.

GIMP: Highest learning-curve, most sophisticated set of tools
Irfanview: Moderate learning-curve, good tools
XNView: Moderate learning-curve, accepts photoshop plugins, good tools
Picasa2: "Flat" learning-curve, simple toolset...quirky interface

When doing batch conversions, I prefer the granularity of control
provided by Irfanview.

Of course, all of this depends on what you're planning to do...

Craig,
Just curious... what do you mean by "granularity of control"?

software, trialware, viruses or warez for me, please.

John;

The best example of what I mean is the "advanced settings" when doing
batch conversions. I've grouped some of my photos together by common
flaws (eg overexposure) and used the various lighting channels to
process them all at once.

That level of control is what I mean.

This beats the heck out of Adobe Photoshop Elements 2, so I'll take
another look at Irfanview. I've had it installed for a long time, just
always used it for viewing. Guess it's more capable than I thought.
