I suggest you at least look into FastStone 6.4. It may not be the best, but as a beginner a few years ago, it proved to be very user-friendly, with an intuitive learning-curve. I've continued to use it, although I hope to begin learning Light Room this year. FastStone can be downloaded free, but they give you an opportunity to submit a donation ($25.00 suggested), which I do yearly. I did'n need a tutor with FastStone, but it's clear that Light Room--for this 75 year-old-student--will require some hands-on assistance.

Luminar 2018 does it for me. Quick, intuitive and just 1 time purchase price! I'd sooner be using my camera than using my computer. I know the basics of PS but for getting to an end product fast, Luminar has been the best I've tried so far.

Frankie, if you want the industry standard, Photoshop. The others are try to be Photoshop copies. Some are better than others.

"Best picture editor"
What you are using now and gives you the results you expect. Many editing programs are available with Photoshop as the gold standard.
Try them for free and select the one you like...assuming you are not using one at present.

gimp is a free "clone" of PhotoShop; but if you use it, you can't complain about the monthly cost.

Thank you all for the input I have photo director I haven't messed with it all to much as of yet. I have a lot to learn with my camera it is my first one nikion d3400 and I do know that it takes time to get a hang of everything but I'm ready for it and ready to have fun with it

What one person considers best might not be best for you. You have Photo Director, and with a free download from Nikon you can have Capture NX-d.
Using those will give you an understanding of what you want to do. Then, if they are not enough, you will be in a better position to choose.

Kind of like asking which car / truck / flavor of ice cream is best. Some swear by Photoshop, others PSE, Pixlemator, Gimp, Affinity Photo, etc. Each has pros and cons ranging from what they do, or don't do, to the cost of the software (free to rental basis, to purchase). Best bet, I think, is to decide what is is you want to do, then look at all that is available and see what fits best. My rationale was that I was not going to "rent" software such as Photoshop, tried and did not like PhotoShop Elements, Pixlemator and Gimp were so so, and finally went with Affinity Photo. Again - personal preference and nothing wrong with the other choices.

Photoshop. You can do as much or as little with it as you want to.
And how did you determine it is “the best”?
