Editing screenshots

[GothicTomcat 0]

I'm just wondering what is the best program to use to remove the background on the screenies. I have IrFanView but I don't think it has a background eraser tool built in (if it does, I haven't seen it). So could someone recommend something that is free that has the eraser tool with it.

Hey Gothic, have you tried Gimp?

 

It's free and I know it's supposed to a software that supposedly emulates photoshop but without the massive cost:

I know that Tim loves it.

Ahhh, yes. Thanks so much, gogo. Exactly what I was looking for. You're a lifesaver once again.

Ahh, good!

Gothic, does it have what you need?

If it does, I'm tempted to download it myself... I use ifranview to edit eh pics, but for image manipulation itself if doesn't seem to have that extra bit that could be so useful.

Yes, gogo. It has the background eraser plus a bunch of other gadgets I haven't tried out yet but will in time.

@ berkley: Would you happen to have a link to a photoshop free download site?

Actually I think the "free" thing is gone now. I think all they have is a free trial.

There is a way to get it for free, but it requires illegal things and I'm not going to be a part of that -.-

Wow!! That download is HUUUUGGGEEEE. There is no way I can download that on this crappy dial up connection. Oh well, will have to try something else then.
