Best free programme for your photographs?

My photos are only visible to my Facebook friends. I use Picasa as a back up store.

I use Picassa and Facebook too (friends only). I also use an iPad a lot now which doesn't allow me to post to FB. I've downloaded a free app (trendyful) but I'm not too sure about how secure it is.

I use Photobucket as well as Facebook, in Photobucket you can do any kind of editing , create albums and slideshows with links also videos and then share them with only those you want to.. I've found it easy and quick to use.

Picasa was great a couple of years ago, but as ever, it has been refined and fiddled with to such an extent that it has become so frustrating and unfathomable (just as Word was). The Picasa forum is huge with so many people posting their frustrations. I'm glad to hear about Photobucket - will give it a try.

Thanks for that, Specki - I thought it was just me having issues with Picasa. It certainly isn't as simple as it used to be, though it is useful for sending links to friends. Jus takes longer to remember what to do next. Ah! Maybe it IS me!

Try Paint.net. It is virtually the same as Adobe Photoshop, only it can be downloaded free instead of paying hundreds of £££. It has almost all the tools that Photoshop has and the interface is virtually identical.

I was getting frustrated with Picasa too - thought it was just me, feel happier now

Just to clarify Mishap's post - its:
