    Hi

    GIMP2 is a great free alternative to Adobe Photoshop series, and yes in the main its easy to use but depends what you wish to do as the higher end graphic applications are aimed at designers and professional photographers and not the basic end user.

    GIMP 2 Download HERE (Majorgeeks is a safe download area)

    But if you want basic photo editing then the likes of XNView and IrfanView as well as Live Photo Gallery are good.

    Roxio media Suite is a good basic to medium application that covers editing and mastering, so do read up on its help file as it may do what you wish.
