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)

You're a lucky man. ;)
Joking aside, many programs today auto link with Facebook and Instagram once you've shared you login details, The idea being that once you've got your picture to the standard you want, it then automatically uploads the image for you.
You can also create albums, add comments for uploading, create a favourites album [yawn]!
What it wouldn't do was link to Flickr, not that I was that worried, uploading and creating albums on Flickr is easy enough.......
I can create my own albums on my PC without social media or extra programs. It's creating a folder in Windows, or whatever operating system you have!
Unknown said:Ah ok, I see what you mean. I simply bypass all that rubbish & ignore it. A simple tweak means PSE opens directly into the editor rather than the Homescreen with all the useless extras, so I've managed to avoid it being in my face all the time. First thing I do with any system or software is disable cloud features and other platform integrations (partly as a result of many years testing IT products & services). I prefer to be in control of my data a bit more than FB etc like :-)
Same as me, I disable all those annoying gimmicks, FB, Inst and the Cloud.....
That's why I've hung on to my old version of PSE 10, it still does the job I want it for.
I wonder how much longer before we're forced down the route of accepting these gimmicks!
