Free Photo Imaging Prgrams to Download for Windows

I'm trying to fix the links. I forgot it's different in a post than the comment field. Sorry!

With links, you simply highlight the text and click the link button. The actual url gets pasted into a popup window.

Thanks for sharing this info. There are free programs out there that are fun. Sorry, can't help with link problem. I am on a Mac and the link button never works for me. I have to go into the html editor to add links which rarely works in Safari and most times works in Firefox

Thanks you for this. I am always wanting to play with my photos and make them more beautiful. Do you have a favorite of the above list?

If I ever get it fixed....... yes, Marilyn. I haven't tried them all yet but I like Photo Filtre.

I was trying that Marianne but it wouldn't let me do more than one at a time per edit and then my computer froze up and I had to manually shut it down.

Yea!! I got it fixed. All the links make sense and work now.

I love IrfanView.

I see Paint Shop Pro didn't make the list...sigh...

Roger - I just took the links from the article on about.com. It wasn't in there. But that is probably what you mean, yes?

Is InfranView free, Cathy?

Nah, just irony...

Thanks once again Bobbi - I really appreciate all the links. Boy, wish there was a way once could buy more time from the universe:)

Thanks for the great sites Bobbi!!!

thank you

Thanks for this. I'm going to try one of these.

Great! Thank you, Bobbi!

Thanks Bobbi! I think all but GIMP and PIXIA are new to me, I'll have to check the others. Are these all freeware or are they trial editions?

As for your problems with links in the Gather editor, most of the time I also write out my own HTML, and I have found some strange new quirks (gremlins on the loose) since the photo album upgrade. I write almost everything offline and save it before copying it into the Gather editor. I found that the editor was not processing the quote marks " inside the HTML statements correctly. The editor was inserting additional quotes around the ones I wrote which screwed up all the HTML tags. I was copying from a Word.doc and pasting into the HTML editor of the Gather editor and thought that was the problem (copying from Word has been an issue in the past) so I went to an all text version using notepad. Same results! After playing around with the code trying several things to remedy the situation like changing the double quote marks " to single quote marks or apostrophes '. Eventually I came upon the solution for that day - remove all quotes in the HTML statements! This required editing any text for alt text or title text to remove any spaces between words, but when pasted into the Gather editor it worked. The Gather editor inserted its own double quote marks in the appropriate places in the HTML code and both my text links and image source links displayed correctly.

While the Gather editor has long had the feature of highlighting words and inserting a URL link, the editor has not previously, nor does it now, support image source links or adding (correcting) mouse-over alt text and titles without writing the code out yourself in the HTML editor. Give the "no quotes" HTML a try and let me know if that solves your linking issue. Cheers! MrBill

Thanks Mr Bill. I rarely put links in the body of a post. I think I figured out what I was doing srong at the time.

Yes, all the programs I listed are freeware - unless they have changed since I posted this.

srong = wrong (sigh*)

Thanks Phyllis for sending me here to Bobbi page and thanks Bobbi I'll have to download it and try it

thank you

You are all more than welcome and if anyone has another to share, let me know and I'll add it.
