Morph images, retouch, scan, apply more than 100 effects, even capture the screen, with PaintStar
PaintStar is a free image editing program, versatile and efficient, if you need to retouch your photographs, create new images, even capture your screen. It supports alpha, layer, path , and the most common editing techniques.
Unfortunately the program, in my opinion, has inconvenient interface. It opens a lot of windows all around for its tools, windows you cannot gather and incorporate in a single one, being impossible even to drag them with the mouse wherever! However, you can get it (a very small download) and try it for yourself, in case its concept works for you.
