A free and powerful image editing software, can be treated as a mini PhotoShop.
PhoXo is a very lightweight, yet capable image editing application which is small enough to fit on a small disk and yet also able to run fine of lower-end systems like netbooks.
The main interface of PhoXo is rather reminiscent of other image editors with a main canvas and other panes reserved for other functions like layers and tool on the left-hand side. Like Adobe Photoshop or other high end graphics editing applications, PhoXo thankfully supports layers, masks and exemption features.
With PhoXo, you can perfect simple photograph touch-ups, add text to images, add some included clip-art and more. On top of that, it also includes several tools for optimizing the entire image like light levels, color saturation, color tone and much more. The filters are all available under the Image menu item.
In the tool panel, you'll find things like selection tools, paint bucket, access to brushes/pencils/eraser and other things you would expect in a full image editing suite. They are all accessible via the representative icons.
While PhoXo is not Photoshop, it certainly does offer some basic tools (and some surprisingly powerful ones) which help get the job done for free.
