Portable IrfanView is a favorite of many Windows users who have long enjoyed it's simple approach to image management. Stepping beyond the restrictive Paint application that comes with most Windows operating systems, you open up a world where you can capture desktops, edit images using paint tools, cut pieces out, crop part of an image out of a large one, create thumbnails, shrink images down to different formations and so much more. The beauty of IrfanView is that you are never overrun with too many options to choose from. You can go into the menus and explore, or just pick a function when you need it. It's all pretty self-explanatory and doesn't need a course of instruction like with large graphics packages like Photoshop. Portable IrfanView also fits neatly on a USB stick and can run directly from it.
