1460071 2019-04-21 01:29:00 I have quite a number of scanned photos & would like to tidy them up.
Could someone recommend a suitable programme that is not too costly & would be easy enough for an old fart to use.

1460072 2019-04-21 01:54:00 Try Picasa which is a Google programme and is free. Latest version is Picasa 3. One of the things that you can do that I have found very useful is the straightening tool. It's good for fixing photos that are slightly skewif.

I, too, am of the senior persuasion and I find it easy to use.

1460073 2019-04-21 02:34:00 Thanks Roscoe I'll check that out.
I might be expecting a bit much.
My early ones were taken on a Kodak Instamatic, so were never high quality.
Had one batch that took on a red haze look.

1460074 2019-04-21 07:34:00 Have a look Here (www.pastemagazine.com) as Picasa has been retired, its still avaiable but for how long who know. The link is a list to 5 free alternatives gary67 (56)
1460075 2019-04-22 04:11:00 If Picasa doesn't work then try Gimp, it's like using an Adobe Photoshop. mrgrtt123 (17666)
1460076 2019-04-22 07:03:00 Gimp may be a step to far?

I have found a little program called PhotoFiltre to be pretty useful, and easy to use.

1460078 2019-04-25 06:17:00 Just an update on this in case anyone is interested.
I tried out 5 different programmes & in the finish went back to MS Office Picture manager which I already had installed.

1460079 2019-05-03 00:17:00 There are also online photo image editors. Maybe also Google Photo's? kahawai chaser (3545)
