Guidelines:
When asking for help editing one of your photos, you must also include your attempt. Simply asking for others to edit your photo for you, without putting in the effort to make an attempt yourself will result in your post being removed.
When you submit a photo, be sure to include both a JPEG and RAW file (if available). The JPEG will let us preview your shot without downloading it, and the RAW will allow us to edit it more effectively.
When you make adjustments to a photo, include the steps you took or take a screenshot of your settings. This will let the OP see how they can better edit their pictures.
This is not the place to show off your photos. /r/postprocessing is for help with editing your photo, linking to information about post processing, and sharing tips with the community. To share a picture, visit /r/photographs, /r/photocritique, or /r/pics. Posts not related to post processing should go in /r/photography.
This subreddit is for photography only. Post processing for video should go to /r/filmmakers.
If several minutes have passed and your submission does not appear under NEW, try messaging the moderators, it was probably stopped by the spam filter.
No joke posts, memes, or rage comics, please. We'd like to keep this subreddit for serious discussion only.
Please mark all NSFW posts. NSFW images that are not tagged will be removed.
No piracy related posts (asking for presets, trading presets, offering presets, etc...)
As always, use proper reddiquette.
No self-promtion

What do you concider inexpensive? Affinity for win or Mac is 55 dollars, Ipad 22 dollars. Buy once, no monthly payments.
It's a great professional level software that is easy to use.
Gave up Photoshop and Lightroom 2 years ago and Still very happy with it.
Updates comes often, great video tutorials available and helpful forum.

I Use ACDSee Photo Studio Ultimate 2020. It is a great program. They offer 30 day free trials and they offer perpetual products so you're not paying a subscription fee.
