Anything out there simpler than Photoshop Elements? For adjusting of levels, cropping and the like. She mostly uses MS Paint currently which has some crude level adjustment in W7 - something like that with a few more options maybe.
GIMP is pretty good for doing most things and is free.
Maybe Google Picasa? It really a photo organiser but does basic touch up stuff. Photoscape is another free piece of software that has some good features or Paint.NET but thats an advanced MS Paint really, so a little like PS Elements
office 2010 photo editor, autocorrect, red eye and crop is the limit of my photoshoppery, probably not enough options for your purposes I guess.
Last time I tried GIMP it was unintelligible to me, so I can't imagine my wife would get very far if she finds Elements a challenge.
I'll try those ones you mention poonprice
Easiest is to upload to Google Picasa or Google+ and use the editing facilities on there.
I use an old copy of PaintShop Pro 7 for everything else because it's simple and quick. (Email me if you want it.)
Picasa is very easy to use. My 80 year old Grandma can use it for simple photo editing without supervision/instruction, so it can't be that bad!
Instagram.
Picasa is great - very simple but with some handy tools. And it's a great photo indexer.
pixlr.com is good for using online.
Paint .Net, or Google Picasa.
Lightroom is much better than Photoshop Elements for simple photo editing, but might still seem complicated to some.
Clubber and mogrim have it.
For sub-photoshop stuff, Pixlr and Paint.net are the go-to apps.
Snapseed.
I do 90% of my editing in Picasa
Picassa unless you want to do proper manipulation etc.
Excellent photo organiser too.
Picasa fo shizzle. Great and free. You can add lots of funky effects too if that's your thing. Very intuitive. I use it to import and do basic stuff, then photoshop does the rest.
