I ask that because it is one thing that Paint definitely doesn't do, and
it's the one imaging tool I need for my humble family photos. I don't see
anything else on my system (Winxp-SP2, Word 2000; no Office) that might
allow me to add some brightness to images from my digital camera, although I
know that once an image is embedded into a Word file you can do this with
some simple clicks. Alas, I'm trying to do so closer to the source; storing
edited digital camera pics as .Tiff and Jpeg files.

There are lots of programs that you can download to enable you to improve
your photos.
Have a look at Picasa 2. It's free and very user friendly.And all the
changes you make are reversible if you don't like the end result.

MUCH more.
