Photoscape is quite good if all you're after is cropping, and "effects". It does a quite good job of them aswell.

(you can also batch edit photos, so say you want to make them all black and white with a 3px border, it can do hundreds of them automatically :))

If you want to actually do some proper "editing" get Gimp.

photobucket does it anyway. Use the edit function & look at the top menu bar.

[mowgli]

windows media player also has some stuff like that.

Yeah but then i would need to reduce the size and quality and seeing as its for prints it would be a very bad idea.

Thanks to the gimp lovers lol

Add an "S" Curve after you've converted to black and white Ben, it stops a lot of shots from looking bland :).
