Any good?
Thoughts?

Person, suit, trimming, software?

Love the software, prefer the suit ;-)

As I'm too stingy to buy image software I've used this for small stuff where paint just wouldn't do. It's quite powerful but not exactly intuitive. But then I suspect most graphics type stuff is confusing. As free open source it costs you nothing to try it.

I use Gimp, and it for many years, .. steep learning curve but plenty of help on-line and with plenty effects called scripts you can add ..

However, I also have Affinity Photo .. as good if not better than Photoshop

Give Gimp a whirl, free open source, nothing to lose

Both require a decent amount of memory to run smoothly

I use it for the small jobs I need doing. I don't do anything major. But fixing white balance, adjusting colours, cutting out parts of a picture, setting transparencies etc. Does what I need it to do.

Also a fan of Affinity. I found it much more user friendly than Photoshop and also much cheaper (though I never bought Photoshop. Used a friend’s).

I agree, I also had a "friends" copy of Photoshop

I used to use Gimp a lot until I found Irfanview which for quick edits, resizing, colour changing etc is great. Freeware. Like all, there is a leaning curve but not particularly steep.

Can you use Irfanview on android as I found something saying you can't. Norma

 

[meanders]

I don't think so. I had not read that as a requirement on this occasion.

Karl Gromett is probably best placed to recommend an Android alternative.

for quick edits, Apple Photos on Mac and IOS is also very good..

Ive used Gimp both on Linux and Windows. I would reccomend it if you are looking for free or opensource software. A very step learning curve. Capable but hard work (i used at work). At home i use photoshop elements 15 (£80 at time) easier to use but Gimp as effective.
