Word, MS Paint.O WCM has some photo editing features, but
limited mostly to resizing, do not resize multiple times.

O Keep names short, avoid references to editions, file/doc name should be descriptive.O Including the date or month/year is a good
idea.O Avoid spaces in the file name, use
underscores insteadO Always include a descriptive “alt text” for the
image. This will help comply with accessibility requirements.

the Image folder, etc.O For web pages, reduce links when possible.
