My old trustworthy computer finally died. I loved that HP and had it for about six years. I'd bought another one last year...opened the box and then never put it up cause the thought of putting together a new computer made me want to weep. I knew my trusty friend was on it's last legs cause the fan sounded terrible when I would start it. So I've spent the evening setting up a new computer that has me befuddled because nothing works like my old one.

Anyway, one of the things I absolutely loved about my old computer is that I could download pictures from the SD card and then a program automatically popped up and I could crop, change the color or brighten or darken my pictures. It was the main reason that I bought it! The new computer doesn't have this program so I'm appealing to other bloggers to tell me what FREE photo editing software do you use? And why? Is it easy to use - a MUST! If you don't use a free editing software - what do you use and cost? Is it worth it to pay for it? Any help you can provide would be helpful!
While I'm at it ~ my computer starts with this stupid microsoft screen:

Does anyone know how to change the setting so that my desktop comes up first. There is a link on the toolbar of the laptop but I set that up so long ago that I can't remember where I found it. My computer is an HP Pavilion 23 touchscreen. I can google the answer, I'm sure, but it would be nice if someone knew and could tell me in layman's words how to do it.
To say that I'm lost is an understatement! I have to get all my links back and I can't get my back up to hook up to the new computer - stop I just got the back up and running! Sheesh! But the process to get my pictures and stuff back onto this computer is too much for this tired brain tonight. Google has answered that question but I need a "fresh" brain to get that to work!
So the post that I was going to write about my next two projects will have to wait until I can figure some stuff out.
...as always more later!
My new computer surrounded by all the junk
