I Need an Image Editor for Win NT & 2000

Hi folks,
I've searched tucows & googled image editors looking for a simple Image Editor that I can use in both Win NT & 2K.

Why? To post Charts in good resolution but small file size.

NT Paint will only save in bmp format. {huge file size}
2K Paint will not load on my system. {tried repairing installation but still gives memory error}

Can anyone give me a suggestion please?

thx

I use SnagIt from TechSmith. It provides for easy capture, resizing, conversion and simple editing of images. It can work with images in a couple of dozen formats, including gif and png which will probably give you the smallest file size.

I run it on Windows XP so it has a high probability of working on NT and 2000.

I believe that SnagIt is what Akuma uses for his journal. The image in the first post of the thread is a 39k gif. The comment boxes are easily added with the editor. The image is nicely presented with distinct comments and very readable.

Thanks Hapalkos, I'll check it out.

Thanks Hapalkos, that's a handy little {not so} tool.
Think I may try out another couple before I would send them the $40.00 shareware fee tho.

Gimp is by far the photoshop of open source.

www.gimp.org

For screenshots, I use screenhunter. It's free and simple to use. It doesn't have a ton of options, but, enough for me to take screenshots.

You can get it at Download.com:

Give IrfanView a try, I've used it in my photography work and its a nice little program.

Hey MuddBuddha,

I looked at GIMP but was thwarted by "Download Source Code & Compile".
Do you know a site that I can get the bewbie install wiz exe?

I actually want the editor to mark up your Simple FX System for your approval before posting VT code.

I havn't used GIMP before, but try http://gimp-win.sourceforge.net/stable.html Bemac.

Thanks Twin,

I got it loaded and it does have numerous tools to edit images. Probably too many for my needs but I'll keep working with it to see if it's what I want.

SnagIt seems to be more my speed so far.

On my site what i use is ctrl printscreen to capture, then i create a new image in paint.net and paste in there. Paint.net is the best free windows Photoshop clone i have used. It does require the .net v1.1 i believe. Once the image is saved, i either post the image directly via attachments, or use imageshack.us to host it (of which i have a windows menu option to right-click the file in file explorer.

When i use paint.net i draw borders/highlights for what i am showing plus resize/crop, as i have a total screen resolution of 3200x1200. Check out the screen shots on my site to see the outcome.

Hope that helps,

Graham

anyone know about the ctrl+alt+prtscn ???

allows you to capture a single window (instead of whole screen) so you dont have to do any cropping....just learned that trick a few weeks ago!

Wow, I didn't know that, good tip!

Here's a link to the top eight free editors. GIMP for Windows is listed first.
