Looking for cheap .jpg editing software?

[d1sc g0lf3r]

I play an online game which has a message board. You have the option of using a sig of your character and I would like to create one. Basically I want to take some in-game snapshots of my character and edit them into a nice sig. I dont have nor do I want to spend $600 on photoshop 7. I am only planning on using it to make some sigs for me and a few friends, so the less money I have to spend the better and Free is best I am not referring to software downloaded from things like Kazaa free, but if there is a freeware program you are aware of, Like how 1st Page is freeware similar to Microsofts frontpage...

TIA,

Try The Gimp http://www.gimp.org/~tml/gimp/win32/. That is assuming you have windows if you have Linux (hopefully you will ) then it should come already with the distro you have if not you can downlad the latest source code here http://www.gimp.org/
Hope this helps

Um.. I'm not entirely sure if photoedit will do that, but you can always try (comes free with microsoft office).

It's in ->
%commonprogramfiles%\Microsoft Shared\photoed\photoed.exe
-M

Irfanview is a good tool.I use it in addition to PS.
You can also use Gifworks,it's cheezy,but it's free.
