text: what can i use..... it takes too long!? hi guys, i have to crop a lot of pictures to make a collage on my computer i use windows xp and only thing i have on my computer is paint and on paint as you know i have to manually crop things using either the eraser or the pencil thing and that takes too long. is there anything i can download for free that will crop the picture for me quicker than it manually takes me on paint ? i will give u 10 points for the best answer asap! from the above list i would go with photoplus, http://www.freeserifsoftware.com/ but there are several other options as well,  paint.net, http://www.eecs.wsu.edu/paint.net/ which i find easier to use than photoplus.  gimp, http://www.gimp.org/ but this one is hard to use and the gui it uses leaves a lot to be desired.  picasa, http://google.picasa.com/ this one is a photo organizer and basic editing tool, not sure if it has all the features you will need, i just use it to organize everything.
