I have Adobe Photoshop 5.5 and some other photo programs on my computer. I have a lot of photo files I am attempting to crop and edit using these programs. When I open a file (usually in JPeg) it displays the photo all pixilated and distorted, with portions of the image jumbled around or duplicated. I've tried resizing, but the image remains distorted. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

Personally I find photoshop well beyond basic needs of everyday user.

If you are just looking to resize and make some changes fairly quick and easy, would suggest infranview - a freeware with many tools avail for an everyday user with a little bit of time using it as opposed to photoshop where you really need to learn it.

Check it out

IrfanView - Official Homepage - one of the most popular viewers worldwide (http://www.irfanview.com/)

Thanks. I'll give it a look.
