Simple photo adjustment program

I have Microsoft OFFICE ver 2007 on my WIN10 and it has a photo program called MICROSOFT OFFICE PICTURE MANAGER that does real well for the basics touchups... The one feature I use the most is called AUTO CORRECT which sets the colors for you in one step (most of the time)...

This is the one I use to make the photos smaller like using in your signature file etc... The one trick is when modifing phpotos never save under the original filename. Change the to add maybe 001 etc... Usually my photos are very big size when downloaded and you can come down in size but you can't go up in size so it best to keep the original one saved somewhere and just make modified copied of it as needed...

Like said it is a very basics touchup program that works very good for me...

In the past, maybe a computer or two ago, when I put some digital photos on my computer, with a click of the mouse I could adjust the contrast, exposure, or whatever to save a picture that was not quite up to par. Nothing fancy, or difficult, but make them so you could make out who was in them. My computer now has windows 7 on it, and I find that I no longer have that option. I tried looking for a free simple program to do what I wanted, and am not having much luck. Anyone have any suggestions? I am not a professional photographer and not highly computer savvy, but I would appreciate some help.

Check out GIMP

Used it a few times, it IS FREE, kind of like a cross between basics of MS Paint (which you SHOULD have) and Photoshop (More advanced)..

They do have a manual that can be downloaded from their website..

2 very good ones for Windows --
Irfanview
Or
Faststone

Both are easy to use. I use Faststone mostly because I like its thumbnail viewer better.
