Photo editing software

[robertchance]

HELP!!! I am in need of free photo editing software. On vacation, I took 100's of pics of shorelines and horizions which are not level and need to be corrected/leveled. I have performed a web search for the free software and there are lots of them out there, but I don't want to download each of them looking for what I need. Does anyone out there have any suggestions so I can narrow my search to just a few and then test them for ease of use?

Many have reccomend the "Gimp" software. I have not used it though... So I can not give any evaluation.

Picasa is a great photo organizing program that also has some decent editing tools including a tool to straighten pictures out. You can get it for free at http://picasa.google.com.

I like using GIMP. I had a bit of trouble in the beginning (I never used Photoshop before) but quickly figured out what I needed to do. You can get it here: http://www.gimp.org/

Also, here's a great site that explains many features of GIMP: http://gimp-savvy.com/BOOK/

Lightroom Beta is available. Takes a little bit to get used to, but it is very nice.
