Title: Photograph programmes
Post by: Ospreyv22 on August 20, 2022, 06:42:01 PM
Evening all,

I was just wondering if anyone on the group could recommend a good quality Photo programme for the odd touch up and edit of photographs,
For instance like removing a rogue crow that got in the way of a shot i took of a C135 on the ground,
I'm not a big lover of messing with photos but sometimes the odd tool to sharpen or clean a photo can make a difference.
I thought i would ask on here first before trawling around and to get recommended advice first off members who have tried and tested and used
such programmes.

All replies with help and advice appreciated.

Regards

Ian (Osprey22)

Hi, I have used google`s picasa(3) for years - I am given to understand this will be replaced at some point with google photos?.. I use it as not web linked just pc stand alone..
The current free software has all the basic edit type tools for cropping etc already built in. Downloadable still - type picasa in google..

https://picasa.en.uptodown.com/windows/download

HTH.

I too used Picasa but thought it was no longer supported?

Corel Paint PaintShop Pro is a low cost app that may be a good alternative.

It may be a bit OTT just for the odd touching up, but AFAIK you can still download Photoshop CS2 (legally) for free, courtesy of Adobe.

The GIMP, also free, is worth a look too.

GIMP is a open-source (free) alternative to Photoshop and has lots of possibilities to match it. Well maintained and a good userbase for support. You can get it via this (https://www.gimp.org/downloads/) link if you want to try it for yourself.
