19 Amazing Free Graphic and Image Editors (+ Edits)

From the Speckyboy Design Magazine:

In this article you will find a range of free editors that can be used by graphic designers, photographers, animators, artists and even kids.  Some have basic functionality for the amateur or learner, others are very powerful and suitable for the professional.

There are selections for Windows, Mac, and Linux operating systems. We are big fans of IrfanView, and agree with this article’s statement that it is “simple for beginners and powerful for professionals”.  There are many other winners here, too.

The ReadWriteWeb blog recently featured Free Alternatives to Photoshop With All the Bells, Whistles, Filters, & Layers - seven free resources that pack the punch of Photoshop’s bells and whistles without the price.
