as i have no memory or cpu problem i always use adobe photoshop. it's just very easy to use and the number of plugins , brushes , effects , vectors are just unlimited.

I have tested the gimp but i find it's gui is very bad and it's not as friendly as adobe photoshop. but if you are using linux and you don't want to use wine to run the photoshop you have no choice but the gimp.

in earlier years (like 2003 and before) i always used fireworks which was a great photo editor for my jobs. it was for macromedia till the adobe bought it and the improvement process is very low in it so in 2006 i changed to adobe photoshop.

Adobe photoshop costs money and GIMP is not worth the trouble if you are into this professionally. Occasional editing and work editing is different so in such case it's better to pay money.

I found paint.net to be better as it is free and will do most of the tasks like OP wanted. For more advanced operation i think there needs to be other editor.

adobe photoshop costs a lot of money, i agree on that. but, if you have only a few photos to edit, i mean they are not your profession or a something you should do a lot. you can always download a trial version of adobe photoshop from the official website and use it for a couple of months or about. if it is your profession or something you have to do a lot, well, i think then you should buy adobe photoshop. with no regrets .

Photoshop express is free so yes we can use photoshop for some features. But just for things that OP wants to do with, i guess buying photoshop or even wasting time learning GIMP is not the way to go.

Just my opinion but i do think if people have no budget then they can use cloud softwares like photoshop express, aviary or simple softwares like paint.net instead even downloading demo version.

You can use Sumo Paint, an online photo editor that is basically Photoshop! Amazing application and it was made in Flash too.

Dear friend I am using photoshop for editing my images but it does not fit in your suggested size bar that is 1mb – 11mb. That’s why what I think is you should go for some online editors which will not occupy any space on your pc and your need to edit images will also be fulfilled.

Here's a good tool you can use without installing any software. It runs directly from your browser and it's packed with some good features.

It's called Photo Online Editor and can be found HERE

You mentioned low disk space? Well this should suit your needs because it requires no installation. Or did you mean the final file size of the image?
Either way it's a great tool. And it's free!

If you don't want to use Microsoft Paint or (in mac) iPhoto, I'll definitely go for GIMP.
Or Photoshop.com is fine if you want an online lite version of Photoshop =]
It's really up to you.
