The Windows 10 32 and 64 bit versions do still seem to be available. I'd also recommend she start with Picasa if it's a good fit for her needs and expectations.

I'm just finishing the month long free trial of Lightroom (for RAW) and am now trying Faststone. Two important questions: what sort of subjects does your mother shoot, and what does she want the photo editing suite to do for her?įWIW I've used Picasa with Jpegs for years. There's a lot of 'pro' features in the program too so the best way to see if you think it will work for your mum is to check out the videos at the link above, they'll give you a better idea than I can detail in text here. The new program looks far simpler than the previous versions hence I thought I'd add it to the substantial list of recommendations you've already received. The new program looks to be a big step forward from the current program and will function non-destructively in RAW as you only create a different file type on exporting.

Over that time it's gone from some cool plug in tools like Nik software to what looks to be a really good program for filing/sorting, basic post processing, more advanced processing (including layers) plus resizing. I make this recommendation after having used the On1 packages since Perfect Photo Suite 6 back in 2012. The On1 software is not subscription based, you buy it, you own it and it comes with tuition videos on it's release. The program is due for release next week, but if you buy the program now you get the current On1 Photo 10 that can be used as a stand alone or plug in for other programs like Photoshop. I was wondering what the go to software packages are at the moment that allow for useful editing/levels correction of photos, but aren't 'off the deep end' like RawTherapee or Photoshop.I'd like to recommend consideration for On1 Photo RAW: ON1 Photo RAW – ON1, Inc. I use RawTherapee, and having coached her through a number of software packages, I'm not sure it's something she'd have a very good go at. She's quite a good photographer, she's looking to get rolling with a photo editing suite, I believe she's just using the built in Windows 10 tools at the moment. You could also try her on Serif's Affinity Photo for Windows, there's a free BETA to try out right now.Īsking for my Mom.

I don't believe Lightroom is difficult to learn at all, but it does need a fairly well specc'd PC to fun fluidly. Photoshop is also too overwhelming just for RAW developing and is why Adobe created Lightroom for photographers. If she's shooting RAW, I'd avoid RT - it's pretty good, but way too complex for beginners. It has everything you need, including pretty decent noise reduction. I was wondering what the go to software packages are at the moment that allow for useful editing/levels correction of photos, but aren't 'off the deep end' like RawTherapee or Photoshop.If she's shooting JPG, then you just can't go past FASTSTONE Image Viewer.

But I've been using PhotoFiltre for years, so if my workflow ain't broke, why try to fix it?Īsking for my Mom. His post reminds me that I want to try it. I have heard good things about FastStone as jlstrawman mentioned. Still seems simpler to me than RawTherapee. Great documentation, including e-magazines, and an active user base. My version doesn't do RAW, but I think I read a future version will. Every once in a while a help screen will be in French, but I seldom use them.įor a step (really several steps) up in capability I use Gimp 2.8. It also takes PhotoFiltre compatible plug-ins. It does layers and masks, can display multiple files at once, and has a broad range of editing capability.

Free for non-commercial use, and pretty powerful but easy to use. In addition to the software mentioned above, I'll mention PhotoFiltre ( I use v7.2.1. If she's just getting started with PP, she might want to get used to editing jpg's first. She's quite a good photographer, she's looking to get rolling with a photo editing suite, I believe she's just using the built in Windows 10 tools at the moment.Since you have shown her RawTherapee, I assume she shoots RAW at least sometimes.
