taotoo 1689 Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 Hard to beat the built in Win 10 editor if you want free and easy. Krita is an option if you want adjustment layers for free. Darktable seems Lightroom-like and is also free. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most important things to me are Saturation, contrast, brightness, color, clarity, crop etc. Have a few of these in paint but not really good enough for me. I'm using Windows 10. Not after difficult photo shop type programs. Just after the basics. Windows 10. Any help appreciated ASDsee free, works well on any windows platform, very basic but easy.

Has not been supported for last 5 years but still available for download and being used by many. Always liked Picasa but stopped using it when it was storing all your photos on the cloud. Is this still the case? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seldom use these days for more than annual immigration photo so not an expert but seems to work fine for such and making prints. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used Aperture in Mac, it was simple and brilliant. Could edit multiple images in the one screen. If I could get something like that for Windows would be perfect. Gimp is like a deluxe, multi-featured Swiss-army knife when all you need is a simple paring knife. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't seem to move or delete the text individually after I have exited it and come back the next day. Is there any easy way to do that? In PAINT 3D, I can move or delete the text anytime in the future after saving it. For example, I have 3 texts on same screen but I only want to move or delete one text across the screen while leaving the other 2 texts alone. It seems such as simple task is difficult in Paint.net Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not familiar with Paint 3D, so it's a bit difficult to compare. But generally: Paint.NET is a raster graphic ("pixel") programm. You can create three textfields. After saving they are "images" like the rest. No "object" to select/edit and move. You can only select a rectangular around and move/delete etc. BUT: Paint.NET can handle layers. So you can separate an underlying image from text/labels etc. and only work on the specific layer. Requires saving in Paint.NET format "pdn" while working on it.

Doing it that way also lets you maintain the original X-Y coordinates with at in the Master Image Don;y ebven worry about the .pdn format... just keep using as jpg all the way though... Why I keep away from doing .pdn, is that with jpg etc I have easy tranportability of the completed image, as a whole, without needing to go back in and CopyPaste out the image to the (forums) Which Forums accept .pdn files?

If you have a Canon printer a free program called "Easy Photo Print" comes with it. It lets you print just about any size photo from any size paper. I use it for my visa and passport photos. I think there is also an Epson version and possibly other versions that might work with your set up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
