I’m a newbie and am asking for guidance regarding photo editing software. I haven’t been able to understand PS & LR and am looking for “photo editing software for dummies.” Any recommendations about how to get my feet wet and learn slow and easy?

Both Windows and Mac computers come with such software. Which computer system do you have?

Affinity Photo is a photo editing program that will do an excellent job for you. It is $54.95, and you own it. No subscriptions. Very robust and easy to use. Great for beginners and enthusiasts. Here is a link: https://affinity.serif.com/en-us/photo/

Also, you should check your camera manufacturer’s website. They will have free software designed for your camera. The free software is not as capable (or as complex) as something like Photoshop, but it’s a good starting point for learning postprocessing.

Luminar 4 and or Luminar AI are “dummy” prof and pretty powerful software packages. They work extremely fast and well with “Photos” on Mac OS which would act as a steady data management source.

Cheers!

Check the Adobe site. They offer many tutorials on Lightroom Classic. Also YouTube has too many to count. Be sure you are looking at recent releases due to the changing software functionality.
