“What do I do? I can’t re-size or crop my pictures!!”

Well that’s not good is it? Take a deep breath, and don’t pull your hair out! We actually hear that quite a bit when we’re training one of our clients on how to use and edit their new WordPress website.

The majority of us in this industry use Adobe products like Photoshop and Illustrator to do all of our graphic/photo creation and manipulation. But if you’re like most people, spending a few hundred or a few thousand dollars on software you’re going to use perhaps once a week to crop a photo isn’t very cost effective, is it?

So we went looking for some good and reasonably priced alternatives, and lo and behold we found quite a few online products that’ll do the trick and the best part is – they’re Free!
