Photo editing software

[Larry N.]

There are lots of good suggestions above, and I'll repeat that I use The Gimp for photographs, which is free and open source. It's not extra simple, but very capable.

The video program I use is Pinnacle Studio, not horribly expensive, but it can be a rough learning curve- great capabilities, though.

I use FastStone image viewer 7.5 - Free. robust and does anything I need it to do from color to resizing.

GIMP is what you're looking for.

darktable might actually be closer to what you seek.

I'd not heard of it before, but it sounds interesting, and it's GPL 3. But I find that it installs but won't run on my Win 7 Pro machine. Perhaps I'll try on my Linux machine soon...

I shoot with my camera phone and the photos are automatically uploaded to my cloud. I don't need an SD card at all. I can also do basic editing in the camera or online in my Chromebook. There are several free editing programs there such as Adobe. But I am so happy with the results straight out of the camera that I rarely ever do any editing except to give it a decent file name and move it to the proper folder..

Adobe Free Online Photo Editor | Adobe Express

Use the Adobe Express free online picture editor for quick and easy photo enhancement such as adding text to photos. Edit, crop, and resize automatically for social ready images in seconds.

Seeking advice on photo editing software, I have these basic requirements:-

1. Ability to change hue/brightness sharpness, etc.. basic features to enhance or correct lighting also resize
crop etc..

2. Ability to save photos in a library possibly with date/location/people attributes that can be later searched.

I'm not interested in cloud and/or subscription services. this software MUST run on a local machine
either Linux or Windows. I have local NAS storage and backup.

Item #2 could be a separate software, probably better if is was..

additionally, I may need to edit video clips too check lightroom premium apk.. any suggestions would be welcome.

thanks

For organizing your photos, take a look at digiKam, which is excellent for managing libraries locally with features for tagging by date, location, and people.

Note that digiKam is for Win 10 and later, but also runs on Linux. So it's not available for those of us who still run Win 7.

If you find yourself needing to work with video clips as well, software like Shotcut or DaVinci Resolve could be helpful—they're both free and support a range of video editing functions. Additionally, if you ever need to record audio from your computer for your video projects, you might find this guide useful for capturing high-quality audio directly on your system: 7 Free Ways to Record Audio from a Computer [2024].
