And it does also support batch image resizing. So it has become pretty useful and still FREE. I'm still not sure about support for RAW format.

Though I've seen a lot of positive feedback on Gimp... I guess I will have to give it a shot as my curiosity has been sparked :-) Just like Julie, I’ve been using Photoshop 7 for about 5 years… if something works, why change it?

I have Photo Shop and Paint Pro and do allot of photos of my dogs only. I would love to be able to extract the dog in a photo and place it on a banner with out everything else in the photo. I have tried edit/crop but nothing is that percise. thank you so much, Lisa Hello, I am looking for photography software that can take the image out of the photo and put it on another background or banner.

It is so simple to use and I really like it. I have a small on location biz so I am not the typical picnik user I suppose (I am supposed to be using photoshop, aren't i? LOL) I don't do much editing at all. I use i-photo if I ever need the healing brush as picnik's isn't quite as good. Then picnik, I will use unsharp mask, boost or convert to BW and curve and sometime vignette or frame. That's all I do post processing. You are welcome to check my photos out www.pamelaoliveras.com I have CS2 on my desktop, but I usually open it, look at it for a few mins, look some more with a confused look and close it out! But, I have seen some great LAB tutorials with it if only the tuturial made sense to me! All my images are edited in Picnik Premium. It is so simple to use and I really like it.

As others have noted, the failures include: 1) Picasa does support RAW. 2) GIMP is missing. 3) Paint.net is missing. And, as for the organization, there's only two sections: Free Image Editing Applications and Intermediate Image Editing Applications Gimp is free, but advanced. Photoshop is neither free nor intermediate. Please, do ten minutes of research next time, instead of just listing the programs you have on your own hard drive. What a terrible article!

I don't care if the ancient version you tried "didn't seem quite there", the fact remains that it is one of the leading PS alternatives, and the fact that you didn't include it based on personal opinion smacks of a bad, biased article.
