open source alternative to Microsoft Picture Manager

[Brazen]

Ok, I like the Microsoft Picture Manager that comes with Office 2003, and more importantly my wife likes it, but I am switching to Openoffice.org and eventually want to switch to Linux (getting rid of all things Microsoft and supporting FOSS).

So anyway, GIMP is a way too much for me, let alone the wife. All we do is use the one click color correction, red-eye removal, and crop (having set 5x7, 4x6 ratios is nice). Is there any simple program that does this well and has native ports on Windows AND Linux (it will help the WAF when switching to Linux). Although, if none available, I would be interested in hearing of a Linux-only port program, or even a non-free one.

check my thread, you'll find some cool stuff there (look in sig)

The problem is what you ask about Windows AND linux - if your demand is this, then you might as well stick with the gimp. If you are looking just for windows OSS or free software - there is a ton of stuff.

In windows I suggest faststone image viewer (in the Picnews link below). . .

about all I'm able to find is full featured photo manipulation programs - ie photoshop, gimp, paint.net - rather than simple photo touch-up programs. I'm not wanting to add all sorts of effects and morph images together and junk like that. All I want (and to keep it simple for the wife) is to touch up photographs - one click color correction, red-eye removal, and crop. A few more features is fine, I'm just wanting something simple and easy like Microsoft Picture Manager or Google Picasa (free, but not OSS and no linux port).
