This has become my goto editor

I really am using this editor more since the recent update. One important requirement was met when I discovered it will open Nikon NEF Raw files. It took a little while to learn what the various editing controls do. The names of some are different from other editing programs, but hey, the editing is non destructive. Try everything and all the individual adjusters to see what they do. If you don’t like what you have done, don’t apply the changes.

I am still discovering what all PhotoScape X can do and how my printers will print what I have done. Soon I will be using this most of the time and using the other editing software I have for specific tasks that they do exceptionally well. I may get the pro version for a few extra effects, soon. For now, I am having plenty of fun discovering the potential and methods of editing. This App is great!

let me add that I like all the extra pro film effects, but not $30 worth of like. I can do without all the 99 cent kid stuff. Maybe there will be a version with just the addition of the film/duotone/and light leaks for $15. That would be worth it.
