    I use Windows Xp - however on (i think) Vista & Windows 7, within the image viewer you can click edit and really easily crop photos - the grey box appears, you drag as desired, hit enter, and on to the next one to repeat.

    Is there a simply program I can download that will do similar for me with xp?

    Gimp, Picasa can all do that, and are free.

    Add Irfanview to that too. I still use it for quick crops when I don't have any processing to do.

    For cropping alone, Irfanview.

    http://www.irfanview.com/

    Free download there.


    You pretty much just open your image with it, drag the selection you want on the image, go to Edit > crop selection. That's it. You can do other stuff with it of course, like brightening, upping the contrast, minor tweaks. You can also easily change the image size [Image > resize/resample > enter the size you'd like, done]

    I like it because it opens fast, is non fussy and doesn't hog cpu like some of the others.

    For more advanced processing Gimp might be better.
