Following TJ kindly lightning one of my pics to make it about a million times better, I was just wondering what software you folks use to improve your images? All I've ever done is crop, so have no knowledge/experience in the field. Free downloads would be my 1st choice, until I get some semblance of skill at it, and whether it's something I would want to do on a regular basis.
Thanks for your knowledge :o)
I predominantly use Adobe Photoshop ver10, which suits my needs, without all the social media bells and whistles that seem to haunt most software today.
However, I think today, as with many software companies, they've got greedy and now its charged on a monthly basis.
There is another photo editing suite, called Lightroom, but I've never used that so I'm unable to comment further.
I also use Microsoft Picture Manager from time to time, a nice straightforward program, and still free to download for Windows users.

You're welcome.
I did see some links on Google to a free version, though I didn't pursue. Photoshop used to be highly recommended years ago, though I'm not so sure it has the same high recommendations these days.
There is a mobile device version, which used to be very good, but as with the Desktop/Laptop version, that too has now become social media (the scourge of today) orientated, which to me, I find intrusive and it takes away from why I wanted a photo editor in the first place.
I'll be interested in what you finally opt for and how user friendly you find it.
Good luck with your quest.

Here's a link to Photo Elements 2020 software via Amazon. I have Lightroom 6 but can't say that I am a real fan of it or it's cataloguing so may look again at Elements as I used that years ago; full Photoshop is out of my league both in terms of understanding the vast array (mainly for professionals) of things it can do and the huge subscription on my purse that it demands ! I'm older and need simplicity these days LOL
