photo editing software help
Since changing to windows 10 my old faithful software no longer works and on top of that my Epson photo printer is not working properly, printing patches of the wrong colours, so today I bought a new printer and its stunningly good.
Now I need some editing software, any thoughts ?

I am not an expert but have used and still owned quite a few photo editing soft wares, including PS CS2, CS3, Cyberlink Photo Director 3, 5, 6,10, Face Lifter V3, Picasa, gimp, Capture One 9, Topaz Filters Collection ,Coral Paintshop Pro X 4,6,7,8 Ultimate…etc
So far, I have found the Coral Paintshop Pro X8 Ultimate the best, which is easy to use, powerful enough and well equipped with many useful tools and features. Also, unlike the Adobe Photoshop, it does not cost you a fortune. It comes with an Athentech Perfectly Clear 2 SE plug-in, Coral After Shot 2 Pro, Perfect Effect 9 and Coral FastFlick bundle.

I use Photoshop Elements - all the useful features of it's big brother but none of the stuff that you would probably never use.
It's a doddle to work with and less than £50 at John Lewis at the moment:

I've been using Faststone Image Viewer for years, it works a treat and is free.

It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!
