Although Adobe Photoshop is undoubtedly the daddy of photo editing software, for the simple jobs like cropping, resizing, brightness and contrast I always use Google’s free Picasa.

It’s not only very easy to use, it looks so damn cute as well. And all your photos are automatically stored on there for easy browsing.

Rather than pay the $999 for Photoshop, there’s also Gimp and Paint.net, which are also free and allows you to work with layers.
