Can any of you guys recommend software for editing PNG files?
Free opensource would be better. I had a look at the stuff in the freeware topic, but frankly there are so many I was hoping someone could narrow it down a bit.
Thanks

Along with the already mentioned Paint.NET you could use Microsoft Paint if you have something really simple you want to do with PNG's like add text or something else. If you only want to resize a PNG there's also the freeware (not open source) IrfanView and XnView.

Adobe Photoshop can edit PNG files. Probably PaintShop Pro (PSP) can do so too.
But if you want an open-source software, then try GIMP. http://www.gimp.org/

Photoshop Elements should do PNGs, a lot of free programs do it to, but photoshop is the mother of all pictures 
I believe Photoshop elements is anywhere around $70-100, and the real Photoshop, unfortunately, is around $700+... but you'd be hard-pressed to find someone who *actually* bought it =/
For free stuff, GIMP, or maybe Google's Picassa should do...
