Program for altering photos

hi, does any one know where i can download any free programs for editing pictures? I want to do some creative stuff with some of my photos but paint aint cutting it!

 

More specifically, i want to be able to take a photo of me and cut out the entire background so i can add stuff.

 

yeah, The Gimp is pretty good .... and free

http://www.gimp.org/

 

thanks but when i tried to download it, explorer just froze up! are you sure its safe?

 

i first grabbed it about six months ago.... and had no problems ... course that's no guarantee of it being safe now....

Cheers Oz!, yeah it only froze up the first time, not sure why, to be honest i was having trouble navigating the site, so that link is helpful regardless

 

Dude

I can upload paintshop 5 to rapidshare or such if u want it.
Have been doing those things u want for a long time with this app
One of the most user friendly and powerfull pic apps available.
Just let me know... it's only 15 mb or so and NO install required.

Occam

 

sure, but whats rapid share?.. im not as computer savvy as some...

 

GIMP is cool.

 

It's funny the guy with the bondage duck as his avatar offers me a program called gimp!
