photo editing software glitches

[dianer]

Although I wasn't completely happy with HP Image zone plus it was all that I had working when I downloaded Windows XP service pack two. Now that it won't even start up I have learned from the HP website that there is a fix however it says it must be installed BEFORE service pack two. Am I totally out of luck? No where on the site does it say what to do AFTER service pack two is installed. I can't use the other editor in my microsoft works packet, it can't display the thumbnails for some reason. I really want to size a photo down to email and post size but can't.

have you tried uploading the photo to photobucket

Sorry I don't know anything about HP Image Zone (nor XP service packs) - google has a free and wonderful image application called Picasa that does basic image correction as well as resizing.

For occasional use, the online image resizers mentioned here can do the trick.

Ok thanks so much for your help. I am going to try it.

Nope, Picasa downloads some of the photos then gets stuck. Tried it three times. The camera reads the photos but the computer can't so I guess it's the card or my RAM. Can't video either then because it's the same camera.

It's funny, 12 years ago 90% of all my editing was done in Photoshop.  Now days, it's 90% in Lightroom.  Lightroom is very powerful and easy to use.  

Gimp is pretty good and considering that it’s free, it’s pretty spectacular.

If you want something more photography oriented I recommend DarkTable which are sort of comparable to Lightroom .

Darktable is similar to Lightroom in use case, and GIMP is similar to Photoshop.
