The cost of photo editing software is so high. I cannot afford to purchase it
and have turned to Microsoft Office Picture Manager to edit my family snaps.
What feature does Microsoft Office Picture Manager have? I am aware that it
does not do what the more expensive alternatives do, but surely it has
featrures for basic editing.

free editing-software out there in the www. Some pretty usefull and easy to
use are:
Photoscape http://photoscape.en.softonic.com/
Picasa by Google http://picasa.google.com/
Paint.net by MS http://download.cnet.com/Paint-NET/3000-2192_4-10338146.html
or last not least IrfanView
http://download.cnet.com/IrfanView/3000-2192_4-10021962.html
just to name some.

Probably all this programms are more suitable to get the job done.
