Thanks for all of your suggestions and help. I do use Paint Shop Pro for all serious work, such as cloning, etc. I can not see the difference in the quality of the reworked pictures, however, whether I use PSP or MS's Photos. Perhaps my problem is my monitor. I am still using an HP w2207h monitor. Perhaps it does not have a sufficient resolution. I am also using an HP 500-164 computer. I notice that when I zoom in on pictures - they often get sharper. I also have limited vision - about 20/40 corrected - in only one eye.

Even though I have several photo programs, including Paint Shop Pro 8, that I use, is "Photos" a "good enough" program for simple picture adjustments such as brightness, contrast, color, sharpness, tilt, etc. for general bird, family and church photography? It is much simpler and quicker to use than programs such as PSP. After using a Canon Rebel SXi for years, I am now using (and trying to learn) a Canon 7D Mark ll. What would be the problems or disadvantages with using this program with respect to the more sophisticated programs? Thanks for your help.

I have been using a Canon XSI for several years, mostly photographing birds. I have recently purchased a Canon 7D Mark II and am trying to get it figured out but still have much to learn about it. I have enjoyed following UHH for several years.
