We’ve discussed this ad-nauseam already, so…
how about we play a little game called:
WHAT I WILL USE NOW
(or intend to use, or have started experimenting with) now that many of us have decided to drop Adobe. Of course this will get buried, so instead of replying, create a new post, and copy-paste the top part so we can continue. This should revive the software suggestions of previous articles, to help others.
I’ll start. I use or am testing the following (all are $ FREE $)
Irfanview (have been using for decade)
Paint.net
PhotoFiltre portable
Photoscape
Intellistudio
LibreOffice (to do away with Adobe Acrobat)
of course, I own photoshop elements that came with my Epson printer, that I will not upgrade, gradually replacing it with free software above.

Started out doing photography at the age of 6 using an uncle's old 1940 kodak brownie box camera. At 15 years of age, I decided to buy my very own 1975 Praktica SLR camera. I now shoot with a Nikon D850. I do unpaid TFP and commercial paid work.
