Picasa. You can also download the Picasa photo editor for free - it ain’t Photoshop, but for touch-ups it’s very good.

99% of my editing I do with Irfanview.

Got a metric butt load of pictures on Picasa. I do not use their software on my computer, made that mistake only once.

I also have accounts on  
Photobucket  
Smugmug  
Flicker  
Google + ( I do not use G+ on as an app on my computer  
I really like ‘[Postimge.org](http://Postimge.org)’  
Also WNG

I am so old I used to have a lot on AOHell.

For the average web site, Picasa works fast and well. Can’t go over 800 pixels on the long side for display though.

I still know a lot of folks on dial-up and on satellite with a FAP so Big pictures are a mean and wasteful thing to do to them. Get just fine pictures at 800 X 600 pixels and 60 to 160 KB.

No, I do not print anything, costs money and no one looks at that either. [/rant]

Just like browsers, I use them all, for different things, as each has it’s strong points and weak points.

I keep good record so I can go get most any of them with little trouble.

I only deal with those that let me ‘hot link.’

Free is good

Ran my own picture server for a while, while nice, that also has some drawbacks. Also that needs a decent pipe in & out which is pricy also.

YMMV
