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 ?
think zoner 18 will work on 10. its one of the best... acdsee is decent too
Unless you are prepared to go the Photoshop route look at GIMP.
Open source image editor, aside from Photoshop its as good as they come.
Oh, and it's free. :)

Thanks Grant will give them a try
should get a 1 month free trial with both, so you can put them head to head.
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.
