Hello,

I own an Epson 4990 scanner and I am looking for a cheaper and simpler software alternative to Photoshop.

Bear with me, I'm not very knowledgeable when it comes to computers and software...

All I require from the software is the ability to scan (obviously) and simple editing (levels/curves/histogram) and then crop and resize. Basically I do not need all the bag of tricks that Photoshop provides. I only need to scan and make minor adjustments, so is there an alternative to splashing out on an extremely powerful programme that I will only ever use 10% of?

Many Thanks
Matthew
