Pictor is simple, fast and easy to use. It also includes some clever features.
Now for the complaints:
1) Editing is very basic, so tools like Levels and Curves, etc. are missing.
2) As this site's editor stated, Undo is quite limited. I couldn't undo a cropping operation, for example, so it's a good thing I hadn't saved and replaced the original file while testing the program.
3) Pictor adds its own file type keys to the registry under HKCR as soon as you start it for the first time, for example: pictor.jpg, pictor.bmp, etc. These are also added to the OpenWithProgids subkeys. While this doesn't automatically change the original file associations, it's quite annoying to discover those keys after removing the program from the computer. I had to search and destroy quite a few of them. This is not consistent with the portability of an application.
If you have only basic photo editing requirements, you might find Pictor sufficient, but I can't recommend the program for serious editing work.
