And of course there is also 'The Gimp' (www.gimp.org), a full featured free Image Manipulation package.
If you want to apply a series of transformations to many images in batch (e.g Do the following to 200 counter images: Shave 10 pixels off all edges, resize to 75x75 pixels, reduce to 96 colors with no dithering, add a nice 2 pixel bevel border, save as a png), then ImageMagick is the way to go (www.imagemagick.org). It does everything Photoshop etc. can do (and somethings it can't!) from the command line.
