  • So after using Lightroom for a few years but quite frankly not getting much use out of it I've decided to drop it - I don't enjoy editing, I'm no pro and I really like what my Fuji camera does to images anyway.

    I've now started editing photos with the Fuji X raw software via the actual camera, which I find works well (if a bit slower maybe), but while this is great in terms of picture quality, it doesn't offer other basic functions like cropping/straightening and maybe the odd simple heal brush/clone stamp.

    Is there a very simple software that will offer that at either a low price or free, and possibly quite simple and light in use? I know something like gimp can do that and lots more, but since I wouldn't need the whole of what it does I'd rather stick to something a little simpler and probably quicker to use in the end.

  • I'd still recommend darktable - it's free and has loads of modules, but that doesn't mean you have to use them all. I started with just cropping occasionally, then with playing with contrast/brightness/saturation, and now I'm messing around with white balance. I'm no pro either, just a happy amateur.

    Alternatively, just do a little search online, there are quite a number of other options, quite a few with GUIs and many are pretty basic while still being functional (and cross platform).

  • Capture one express? Is free, has all those basic functions and the Fujifilm version lets you load up the film sims if you shoot raw. Pretty sure you can customise the window to only display the tools you want to use if you want to keep it simple.
