MonkeyPhoto

Even an ape can quickly sort photos downloaded from a digital camera with MonkeyPhoto (elephants can watch a short tutorial movie to get up to speed). The interface is simple: you open a directory of photos displayed as thumbnails, then select one to enhance colors, rotate, and add a frame from the dozens included, from plain to baroque. Artsy types may choose to convert their images to black and white or to sepia. The program's editing capabilities end there, and you can save, e-mail, or print your creation. MonkeyPhoto is a great option for a child's first digital-camera companion.
