What is the best image editor

Tweet

I know that I have asked this before but I need some advice on a good image editor program. I only use them to resize or touch up photos but I have recently had my mother board go out and I lost everything on the drive too for some reason. My girlfriend likes to use them to make funny pictures, add captions, cartoon it, etc. so I need advice on one like that too if anyone knows of a good one. I have found most people here on mylot to be friendly and helpful and I really appreciate the responses I have had when I have needed help. That's why I really try to answer people's questions when I may know something that will help. So, thanks in advance for any responses.
