External Image Editors
Edit and resize your images before uploading to Cascade.
Photoshop Express - Free & Online
Photoshop Express Editor is one of several free online photo editors we use. No download required - just upload an image, make your edits and save back to your computer.
Pixlr - Free & Online
Pixlr is another free, online image editor. No download required. Upload an image from your computer, edit it and save. They offer a more in-depth tool as well as an Express version.
PicMonkey - Free & Online
Another team favorite, PicMonkey is a free online image editor. Also no download required. Just upload, edit and save your image.
Google+ - Free & Online
If you're a Google+ user, they have a pretty good built in image editor (formerly Picnik). Just create an album not to be shared in your circles, and use it to upload and edit your images.
Adobe Photoshop Elements - Low Cost Download
Adobe's Photoshop is top of the line software. Photoshop Elements is their scaled down version, and can easily handle the needs of most Cascade users. In fact, for many, it's more than you'll need. But, if you'd prefer to purchase software for editing your photos, IT offers Photoshop Elements for Windows at a significantly reduced price - about $40 for college-owned computers.

Gimp - Free Download
Gimp is an open-source, free software package that you can download to your PC, Mac or Linux computer. This is more robust (aka, complicated) than many of the
free online image editors, and is similar to Photoshop.

IrfanView - Free Download
Some of your fellow Cascaders (and Cascade managers) love IrfanView, another freeware package. While it does require a download, it is considered a simpler and easier to use program—great for beginners and advanced users alike.

Picasa - Free Download
A favorite of some, Picasa (by Google) is free and simple, but does require a download. Once installed it will direct you to organize, edit and share your photos.
