I need to do some graphic editing for a presentation. I need something with more oomph to it than Paint, but not as sophisticated that Gimp or Photoshop - I feel like I need to be a rocket graphic scientist to use those.
I was going to suggest GIMP :P
Not my speciality, but looking through a page of Photoshop replacements, this could work for you:
http://pinta-project.com/releases
or
http://www.serif.com/free-photo-editing-software/
There is Paint Shop Pro available for around 100$ too, if it's still not as performing as you like.
Gimp is a fine program, but it's too complicated for me. I'm not a professional graphical editor, it's just that Paint is way too bare.
I've been recommended this: https://pixlr.com/
It has the exact mix of features/user level I was looking for, although I'm not too fond of web apps.
I would suggest paint.net. More sophisticate than paint but simpler than gimp and photoshop. Not web based.

same here, I can't find the time to learn a software I use once per 3 years.
let me know how you like Paint.net. :)
Been playing with both paint.net and pixlr. Paint.net does the job well enough but I like Pixlr better, it has some extra tools that I find myself using often. The problem is that it's a web app. Maybe I'm being a bit of a Luddite here, but I don't like web apps.
Nothing really wrong with webapp. Just got to make sure you trust the publisher, anonymity is not always guaranteed, so read the terms of usage carefully.

I played a little bit with Pixlr. Its filters are surprisingly well-done for a quick web app (I especially like the Tilt Shift). Paint.NET will do a lot of the same stuff, but not without some time spent hunting down plugins.
