Pixlr is a free and probably the best web based image editor. I will show you how to open and and resize an image, I'm sure you will be impressed how well the web app actually works.
Dreevoo Content Image Maker is an awesome little stand-alone Windows app that will help you create images for Dreevoo.com tutorials. Remember, you get paid for every published tutorial.
Nice little program that enables you to close all your opened applications and windows with one single click. It works in Windows XP and Windows 7 and doesn't need installing.
