Will,
I have used two of the free products on the link JD provided and I think
they're both quite good... paint.net and gimp. I haven't used either one
very extensively, but my recollection is that paint.net is a bit easier to
use... more straightforward and intuitive.

You do have to have your Windows computer reasonably up-to-date... i.e. it
requires XP/20003/Vista and Microsoft .NET Framework 2. If you have XP, I
believe it will install .NET 2 if you don't already have it.

Ditto JD's comment about manipulating sizes (and whatever) on the computer.
Take the pix at highest resolution. If you ever want to print them, you'll
get much more desirable results. You can take your memory card (or the whole
camera) to a processor (Pro-Ex, Walgreen's, etc.) and have "regular" prints
made, just like the old days, except you can pick and choose just the ones
you want.
