I thought paint programs emphasized coloring on top of an image using
brushes or flood fills, whereas image editors emphasized performing
surgery on an image, or performing a multitude of special effects on
the whole or selected parts of an image.

I want to find a simple image editor for my daughter (9). This editor
should
be capable of
1. Work with multiple images (adding two images)
2. Write text on the images (various fonts)
3. Cropping.
