Looking for a free art tool that does the following...

I need to make a few art assets for a project I'm working on. When I say simple, I mean simple. For the time being, actually, I'm just trying to make some boxes with some very specific dimensions and border-widths (measured to the pixel). I've been trying to manually draw these things in MS Paint (the Windows 7 version), which is a nice tool, but it's starting to drive me insane.

So basically, I want a tool that lets me add a new rectangle to an image and specify the dimensions (width: 1440 px, height: 900 px, thickness: 4 px). That kind of thing. I know Ulead Photoimpact (which is not a free program, but one I own) let me do this. The problem is, I can't find my discs. Plus it's kind of old now.

    Not sure if it can do it, but GIMP and Paint.Net are fantastic (free) image editors.

    Download the demo to photoshop. If I remember correctly, you should be able to use it unrestricted for like 30 days.

    Aviary is an online tool so you wouldn't have to actually download any software.

    I am not sure I really understand the brief, but Inkscape or Dia might be what you're after?
