If the question is "What's the best free tool to do X?" a great place to
look for the answer is the Tech Support Alert site. The page for
graphics tools is here: http://www.techsupportalert.com/pc/image-tools.html
PAINT.NET: I used it two contracts ago and was impressed. The help was a
little skimpy but I was able to figure out how to do everything I needed
to do.
The GIMP: I really wanted it to be the right tool for me, but I found it
just too hard to find out how to do things that seemed as though they
should be simple.
Good luck. Let us know if you find a good vector tool.

I was browsing for a free Visio substitute (with little luck - none seem
to handle Visio's native format files) and stumbled across a few other
things.
For non-vector graphic stuff, has anybody had any joy from Paint.NET?
The GIMP is kinda overkill for the type of bitmap/photo/image tickling
that I usually perform, so I'm looking for lightweight alternatives and
that one was mentioned.
