      Back in the day I was into photography in a big way for about 7 years starting in 1975. Photo editing back then was called a Darkroom 🤣 Kinda been thinking about Video Editing fo too long, I know I will have a very steep learning curve or worse.

    Although it's not really marketed as a photo editor, if you have a powerful enough computer, the video editing software DaVinci Resolve can also be used to edit images, applying a whole selection of effects, colour correction, and more. It comes in a free version and a paid Studio version, though you will likely only need to free version.

      check your camera as it may allow that feature. However, at least in Canada, the photographer automatically has copyright to any image he takes. Personally, I don't watermark but do sight all my images which is easy to do when using PhotoScape X (free or Pro)

    I disagree. I use Gimp already for years and it is the least intuitive slowest starting software I have ever used. Even after using it for years, I still get extremely irritated when I need to do something new. Every little thing has an enormous learning curve and never is logical. I just don't understand how stupid they could make the user interface. I would never ever recommend Gimp to anyone even though I use it.

      @@danielmelcher5310 You have a point there. The problem is that currently Gimp is the software I know best and for any other program I have to start from scratch. When I started with Gimp I thought it was just me needing to get used to new software. And although I slowly learned new functions, it became more clear that every freaking new function took a lot of searching and after a year of struggling I now dare to conclude that it is just a really crappy non intuitive user interface. So I take every opportunity to tell people to not fall for my mistake and just chose software that works easier from the start.
      Because of limited lime I use Gimp but tell myself that next vacation I have to start learning another program to finally toss this Gimp Garbage.

      Not sure if you have heard of PhotoGIMP, which is a free patch that customises the GIMP user interface to emulate Photoshop’s, while also changing GIMP’s default shortcuts to match those of Photoshop. For my laptop that I use at work (provided by the company with low specs), I use Photopea instead of Photoshop that is pre-installed in the laptop because it takes so long to load the programme and is so laggy. Photopea is a pretty good alternative especially when you install ad blockers on your browser and ads can't appear on the Photopea website. For my personal laptop I install PhotoGIMP and the layout is the same as Photoshop.

Have written to to the support address twice so far asking if more RF lens profiles were available or were being planned. I have heard nothing back. The last update was Jan 2022 (running on two years ago now). They took my money fine but seems to be an abandoned piece of software as far as the paid Pro version goes.
