Irfanview is free photo editing software that is excellent for the user who needs to make simple modifications to images (crop, re-size, re-format…) either individually or in batches.
Here is how to download and install it:
1. Visit the Irfanview website and download the software from one of the mirror sites listed (I like to use Tucows, they are reliable and fast). http://www.irfanview.ca/

2. Go to the downloaded, saved file and double-click to install the software.

4. Click “Next” through the setup screens.
Stop when you reach a screen asking you if you want to install a Google Toolbar. This is totally optional but you should be aware that it is not necessary for the software to function. Uncheck this box if you do not want to install this function.
Decide whether you want the Google toolbar.
5. Click “Next” through to the end of setup and finish by clicking the “Done” button.
