You are a life saver. I finish some classes and immediately after I no longer had access to LR or PS. The options you presented will be more that enough. Thank you
I've been using Windows Photo App for years and use it all the time to crop etc my football / Soccer pics I do for Local Clubs. I don't want to do too much editing so I find this app great but the other week I went over to Windows 11 and the app was awful so I went back to Windows 10 now I'm happy again. Thanks for this video Cheers Quinny
Thank you Kevin for your summary of the best free photo editing software around. Your advice and info is always timely and accurate. I wonder if you’d thought of looking at free AI software as an addition to editing possibilities as, whilst far from perfect, this seems, at times, to have transformational powers beyond belief such as in enhancing old photographs?
i like IrfanView Graphic Viewer, But i will download Gimp, because of your favorite. And your video are really helpful to my struggles when i face problems. Thank you very much and keep going.
I really like Irfanview for viewing photos and making quick changes. I'll take a closer look at the programs that you have reviewed to see if I can select one that is easy to use with a reasonable amount of features. I rarely use a photo editor and I'm quite sure that I would not use an editing program that has too much complexity. Thank you for the video!
thanks man, this video is helpfull, i got the irfan one, with in 3 minuts i was able to learn to make simple thumbnails all by myself. this is gonna be very useful when i start making videos lol.
I know there are many photo editing software's! But how much ever you edit you wont be able to get a charming face like ya! Fantastic! Really short and crisp!
Thank you for the video. There are some useful and powerful tools in this roundup. I’ve always liked GiMP but agree it has a steep learning curve. Cheers 👍😎🇦🇺
Sweet video. Which of these can do perspective correction, which is one of my most often needed capabilities? You know, converging trees or building edges because of lens point-of-view. PS: I have Gimp, but frankly, I have not really used it much. Since I use photo editing software only occasionally, I find I have to wade back into all the complexities of GIMP, just to do one thing to one photo. A long ago software reviewer used to call this the "coefficient of re-learnability." (Learn to use a new program, don't use it for a month, then try to use it again.) Some programs are a snap; many are a no-joy pain in the cookies.
I was definitely looking for GIMP. First i saw this software in one of my Linux os, it thought i is a Linux only software. But after watching your video i got what i was looking for.
Thank you sooooo much for the tip of the windows photo editor , I was able to use it in just a few minutes and it's just what I was looking for with the sliders to adjust pictures . TY
Don't force me to put ♥️, you have exactly my mind (when you use software use free and professional) iam kidding I just don't have money to pay for them 😂
a great way to find freeware for lots of things is to just use your search engine of choice (I like duckduckgo but lots will use Google) and search for "free software". If you want a specific topic such as "for digital image editing" just add that to the first part. You don't need the quotes.
@@deborahfairburn6585 ok a couple of suggestions. You can use the Windows Firewall and try using Window anti virus that comes with W10. The latter is not my preference as there are others. Currently freeware BitDefender is good. Add Malwarebytes. It comes as freeware but is more robust with the paid version. I would also suggest viewing on YT anything present by Leo of the PC Security Channel. Learn everything you can and be careful of what might come to your inbox and look carefully at websites that you don't know before you go exploring too much. While I have not been in PC Tech in Paltalk for sometime, in the past this group was a good one to learn more about computer information and they have a good website available also. Keep your system updated, clean things up and make sure you BU BU BU and I mean that literally. There are many good newsletters to subscribe to such as Ask Leo, Ghacks, Gizmo, Bob Rankin, Dave's Computer Tips. HTH YMMV
Back in the 90s, I used IrfanView and even back then it was an awesome viewer, but not great editor. When the Windows version of GIMP came out, I gave that a try and have been using it ever since. I was rather surprised that GIMP didn't make your top five, despite claiming it's one of your favorites. It's certainly the most flexible of the bunch. Also, you should be careful about qualifying how difficult a program is to learn. It's all relative. I for one would find learning Darktable and Raw Tharapee fairly easy to learn, probably because I'm familiar with Lighttable.
I have used Adobe Lightroom but decided not to go with the subscription setup. Luminar is a paid program I am just learning. Gimp looks interesting also.
Thanks a lot Kevin It helped me a lot I wanted to make thumbnails for my videos but I was using Powerpoint, Now I can use Photoshop and create way better thumbnail. Thanks so much once again
Thank you for your suggestions. It has been a long time since dealing with application software and really not a fan of subscription services. When I buy something, I want a product in my hands that can move from computer to computer and do not mind paying for it. I am a very beginner in photography so don’t need something like photoshop where not only do you subscribe but also pay for plug ins. Will take a look at those you suggested and it always helps if they have documentation or tutorials.

I was about to compare and purchase software.....due to bailing out on LR due to loss of employment......thank you!
you are the only person that spends the time to show what it means to explain everything thank you again for your hard work again

If you are taking a reasonable amount of photos, I would highly recommend checking out GIMP or Darkroom, only cost is your time.
Really awesome selections! Using these free tools can be a game changer if you are on a budget :)
This is what is called quality content. Hitting the bull's eye! No words to thank enough. Cheers!
Thank you!!! Excellent advice
You have no idea how much time you just saved me looking for pictures. I am so grateful.

Hi, Kevin, great work, I wonder how I get rid of cast shadow on photos, is it possible the simple way?
Great video
Please make a full video on Gimp
Thanks Kevin! Once again you have provided the info I needed in a quick and efficient manner 😊👍
You are an incredible teacher. Thank you.
Adobe Photoshop Express did just what I wanted and it was easy to use.......Thanks!
Gimp software is so exciting since it's the proxy of adobe ps

wow photo editors are really cool they make are photos look professional ... these photo editors are always the best thanks kevin
Good video. It should be mentioned that GIMP doesn't work directly with RAW photos. You need a plug-in for that.
Amd wich one of these S.W works with RAW??
i like IrfanView Graphic Viewer, But i will download Gimp, because of your favorite. And your video are really helpful to my struggles when i face problems. Thank you very much and keep going.
