Me too. It does everything I want or need. It takes awhile to figure everything out but becomes intuitive after you use it for awhile.

First - what rusbhro said & what platform do you use?


I use (in order of frequency:
1. Affinity Photo
2. Will be trying Luminar from MacPhun soon. I've seen some positive reviews. I have their Creative Kit & Love Snapheal, Noiseless, & occasionally use the others.
3. When nothing else will do what I want, I with to my old Mac Pro & fire up Photoshop CS6. (I refuse to pay monthly for when I used to pay once. I upgraded every other release so I averaged $5/month).

depends on editing but a combination of adobe lightroom and photoshop CC

I was using CS7, we recently bought lightroom, still getting used to it.

The usual suspects: Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Lightroom, Premiere Pro, Experience Design, Dreamweaver, Elements...

I drank the Adobe kool-aid back when it was the only drink available. I'm too old to learn new tricks, now.

Lightroom and Photoshop. Both are the subscription based CC versions.

I've been using ACDSee products for years. Very happy both with photo management and editing aspects.

Elements, but I need to find a good tutorial as I'm finding it more than a bit confusing.

Lightroom CC®

Lightroom and Photoshop via their CC subscription service. This may be overkill for your needs or perhaps not depending on how much editing you actually want to do.

I use paint.net It is free and does everything I need. Cropping, resizing, layers, effects.

GIMP is also good - also free.

I used an old photoshop elements until it wouldn't load onto the new computer. I found a free program, PhotoPad by NCH software, it seems to do almost everything my old photoshop did.

I use Photoscape (free) and the photo editing software program that came with my Canon DSLR.

Photoscape is uber-easy to use.

I forget what the Canon stuff is called. Works well for what I want to do.

GIMP.

I don't do subscription models, nor pay when free alternatives exist.

Though in the past have used Photoshop and Lightroom a ton, ACDSee too, for that matter.

Elements or Lightroom.

lots of various editing and other useful tools that are free

Mostly GIMP these days; it's freeware that works very well. I got tired of the Photoshop upgrade treadmill, especially for a package that I don't use as much as I once did, though every so often I'll still use it because what I need done is easier with PS instead of any other package.

I also have a license for Paint Shop Pro as well. It's more user-friendly than PS but it's installed on an older computer that's as slow as watching paint dry and I've been too lazy to move it over to a newer computer.
