Photo changing

Dear All, Some good photos', Can someone tell me the best freeware programme to "edit"or "improve". Got some holiday pics that need improving. Also , how do you do things like putting a cats' head on a dogs' body, and daft things like that?

Cheers, Hyena

There are any number of programs available for photo editing and manipulation. Most of them cost money, and the best ones cost a lot of money.

However, there is one open-source program that rivals the more expensive programs like Photoshop, and that would be the GIMP.

The learning curve with any of these programs tends to be on the steep side, but you can do a lot of really good stuff with GIMP. I use it to clean up old schematic drawings for work, and I have fixed family Christmas photos-- closing gaps between people posing (and even inserting a missing family member) and such.
