Um. You need Administrator privileges on the work PC to download and

Dang, I hate tightwads. Why can't they just buy a graphics
program?
Better yet, why don't people faced with these situations get smart
and download a for-real, powerful and efficient image editor like the GIMP?

and open-source (though enthusiasts will correctly tell me I have gotten the
