Photoscape is excellent

Google picasa is supposed to be pretty good.

Gimp +2

Free, and powerful. Quite complex, but easy enough to do the basic functions (resizing, fixing red-eye, correcting colours, etc.). You can also do advanced editing, if you're prepared to learn stuff.

Available for Linux (usually included in a distribution) and Windoze.

Gimp for bitmap "editing"...

Irfanview for bitmap viewing resizing format change...

Inkscape for Vector...

Scribus for DTP...

All excellent.

I use Gimp and Picasa, Gimp more technical, Picasa easier, although Windows live photo viewer has a quick fix that even straightens crooked shots

For the simple stuff ie getting your photos cropped & looking better Picassa.

For really serious stuff use The Gimp

I remember seeing one program where you told it what was where and it went and found pictures. So you'd say "Guy jumping on a motorcyle" and "lion chasing" and it would make you a picture of a lion chasing a guy on a bike.

I do that with Photoshop Elements 8 or PSE as its generally known.
