Lots of different options. ON1 and Xara are two that I have used. Xara is incredible in what it can do.

I don't know if Paint.net is listed there, but it's free and pretty good. Unfortunately, doing a search for it brings up a paint company.

I always shoot in RAW format. I always use the software Digital Professional 4 from Canon. It's free, it's powerful and I love it. For special things needed layering, such as adding someone to a photo I use Photoshop Elements 11.

You don't say if you have a limit on your one-time fee. What I do is consider the monthly $9.99 a one-time fee of $119.88 split into interest-free monthly payments
with an annual upgrade fee of $119.88 also split into interest-free monthly payments.
Considering that I used to upgrade Lightroom and Photoshop every time an upgrade came out, at several hundred dollars worth of one-time upgrade fees,
what I'm doing now is about $300 less expensive annually. I think that's a bargain.
And with monthly fees now instead of huge purchase fees and upgrade fees, I actually now can afford Illustrator, InDesign, Acrobat, Lightroom, Photoshop, and Premier Pro!

Probably the best one to get is Photoshop Elements 15 otherwise known as PSE 15. It's $50-$70 depending on where you get it. I think the best price would be from Sams club or Costco.

I have been using LViewPro for a long time. Many people let me know how crummy it is: I don't see it that way. It does the job and although I have paid the price in full for several versions, the free version is still available: http://www.lview.com/Download.htm I have Photoshop, version 4 but can't find my book so It is a struggle to use. I also have the light version of Photoshop (Elements) and find it was no better than what I have for free. I hope you find something you like. I have.
We have a travel trailer and used it for many trips and took many pictures. Some came out Ok, some came out lousy. Anyway, if you have some extra time on your hands, www.andore.net is our web page. I am far behind in posting anything, one of these days.....we've all used that one before. I do not copywrite anything, nor use any photos that are in copywritten status.

Daniel, thanks for posting "Topaz". I never heard of it, so I'll try it out.

I used to use PhotoShop CS5, but switched to Elements 14. I added NIK Suite, On1 and Topaz Adjust for additional creative options. I shoot JPEG.

Yes. I started with version 7 too. It came with my first camera when I bought it new. I liked it so much that I purchased the latest version.

If you have Sony gear, Capture One is an amazing deal.

I tried to download (still trying) and it sent me to another site called SEO PowerSuite who offers a free stripped down version of that software. I thought I was downloading Topaz. Most suppliers who lack honesty get 2 possibly 3 strikes. So we'll call this "Strike one
May 25, 2017 09:11:48 #
I downloaded the software but my anti-virus prevented it from opening. Call that strike two. In advance:
No, I cannot/willnot defeat my anti virus when it prevents my system from a possible virus.
