I (still) use Picasa 3 to manage my images locally, and to do fairly basic touching up of them. I'm satisfied enough to carry on using it.
It has about 40-odd different editing functions - fill light, boost, soften, contrast etc.
It also has a batch edit, but this only has about 10 functions.
As luck would have it, I quite often want to apply the same function to lots of images when it isn't one of the supplied batch functions.
Are there any relatively simple batch image editors for Windows that might do this? Free, of course, since in the main I'm quite happy with the free Picasa.
Or does anyone suggest replacing Picasa with something else?

Re: Batch editing images
Have a look at Irfanview. It seems to come well recommended, from what I've read, and I've used it in the past, but not tried batch editing.
It certainly has some batch capabilities, but I'm not sure exactly what you can do in this way. You can batch rename, change image type etc and I'd be very suprised if you can't use it to apply some batch editing too.

Just to follow up this thread, I downloaded Irfanview and it does exactly what I want. Under "Advanced" options in "Batch Conversion/Rename", every type of effect can be tweaked - contrast, saturation, colour balance etc.
