Fotografix: The best photo editing software for the Eee « My Asus Eee PC - 0 views

  •  
    This lightweight image editor takes two seconds to download, and an even shorter time to start up. No pesky splash screens! It even runs as a portable app. Now it goes to say that it's definitely not going to be as powerful as Photoshop or even GiMP. Well, we're working on a small screen, what else do you need? But if you need quick and easy photo editing on the fly, Fotografix would work perfectly.
