    Paint program
    « on: December 03, 2007, 10:08:05 PM »
    What do you folks recommend as the best FREE paint program - don't use one very often but I would like to edit a picture or two once in a while -  I would really like a program with a clone feature if any of the freeware has such a thing?

        Same thing as 'gimp' w2000 and up - any w9x programs you know of?
        Thanks, guys.

        Oh, in that case Photobie won't work for you either.

        There's PhotoPlus 6, which is free as well, although the newer PhotoPlus 8 isn't, but it's only $10.

        Pixia 3.3b was the last version they made that worked in Win98 (if I remember right). It can be downloaded from here. Make sure you're getting the 3.3 version and not the new 4.1 version, which doesn't work on Windows 98.

        I've never heard of a clone feature in photo software.  What would be the purpose of it?
