I am looking for an easy software to get my pictures ready to be printed. I am not as computer savvy as I should be. Thanks, hc18flyer

I have been using Photo Filtre for ages. It works on win XP, 7, 8, 10, and runs in Linux with WINE installed. It is small, free, and efficient. There is a version that doesn't need to be installed, you unzip it and run it. You can download it to the desktop, and unzip it to a folder, open the folder and run it.

Here is a screenshot of the app opened on my screen, you can see it's pretty simple.

That is available as part of windows. Double click on the picture. When the picture opens click on 'edit image' (the little icon top left). Click on the 'cropping' option (new icon top left). Grab the edges of the picture to crop where you want. Click on 'save a copy'.
"Paint.net" is a free photo editor for Windows. It is easy and user friendly.

I use IrfanView.
It's free to download.

Microsoft office power point has a fairly simple crop function
I second the IrfanView suggestion. It has served me well for years.
Long time Irfanview user. Simple interface, not a resource hog. Easy to learn yet very powerful.
I truly believe we need to get back to basics.
Get right with the Lord.
Get back to the land.
Get back to thinking like our forefathers thought.
May the Lord bless you and keep you. May the Lord make His face to shine upon you and be gracious unto you
and give you His peace. Let all of the earth – all of His creation – worship and praise His name! Make His
praise glorious!
Have been using Irfanview since November of 2020. No complaints so far.
Spell check doesn't work in Chrome, so if something is spelled wrong, it's just a typo that I missed.
Thanks, I will study up on Irfanview. I have it downloaded, hc18flyer
Irfanview has a lot of nice features. In addition to displaying images and cropping, it will resize a group of photos in a batch, it can alter the color balance and brightness, run slide shows and even create an exe file to run a slideshow as a standalone file. I've been using it since 1997.

I've been reading forum posts about using IrfanView in Linux, a lot of effort and very little payoff, until... One poster figured out that Windows has a registry that applications look for when you open them, and Linux does not use a registry, so he copied the entire IrfanView directory from the C:\Windows\Program Files into his home directory on Linux and VOILA!! IrfanVew runs with all the features!
I will have to give this a try.. I already run WINE, a windows emulator that runs in Linux, I can run QuickLoad and other Windows programs in Wine. The only thing I don't have is a windows machine to copy the installed directory from. Guess I gotta toss up a Win7 install and create it..
The problem with using the Linux apps is they are just too complicated and powerful, steep learning curve with many of them.
