- Very nice lens. I downloaded Paint.net the other day and hope this works for me. I tried Gimp - couldn't figure it out at all. 5***** for some really useful information.
Oh yes - have you come across Faststone? It's a free photo/image viewer with some good manipulation capabilities. I love it, great for slide shows and most of the editing I need to do.

- I'm glad I saw this. I am a real technotard so photoshop made no sense to me. Unfortunately, I downloaded GIMP and I don't understand that either...lol. Ah well, Great information and great lens!

Irfanview's a fairly good free photo editor.
