Freebee Photo Editor

[Tunnelcat]

Any good freebee photo editors out there? I need to remove a bunch of small blemishes from a UV damaged photo. MS Paint is too time consuming and doesn't do a good job of removing small, bright, fuzzy blemishes with the tools it has. I need better blending tools that don't leave little pixels in the surrounding colors.

GIMP is pretty much the open-source equivalent to Photoshop, though not being familiar with image editing I have absolutely no idea how easy/hard it is to learn advanced features on it.

paint.net is fun also

Thanks guys. I've heard of complaints about the constant upgrading of GIMP. Don't know if that's an issue, but I might try paint.net first. I just need a soft airbrush instead of the pixel brush paint has. I also want to add some text to the bottom of the picture.
