[QUOTE="Dave Jay, post: 141565, member: 27677"] Cameras and photo editors came up in a thread today and reminded me of this thread. To update my experience, I tried all the editors mentioned in this thread and a few others and ended up using Faststone, a free editor. Not because it had the most features but because it had what I needed, a simple "exposure" interface where contrast and brightness can be adjusted plus colour saturation, adjusting for the flash basically, these adjustments can be used on the next photo or some or all reset each time. There's also a simple crop interface that allows you to add custom crop sizes to a list for easy use later, and you can navigate through the folder without closing the interface, cropping as you go. The cropped pictures can be saved to the clipboard or saved as a separate photo "lossless" file. The pictures are seen full screen and you can go forward and backward with arrows making it easy to compare one to another and delete the ones you don't want. On the down side is that you have to save changes before you can go to the next or previous photo, which can slow things down sometimes, Microsoft Office editor saves all changes when exiting the program which can take a little while but by then 300 photos may have been whittled down to 30 anyway, no time was spent saving changes to pictures that ended up being deleted unlike with Faststone. Also, there are only adjustments for highlights and shadows, no midtone adjustment in the "exposure" interface although other adjustment interfaces are available. Apart from those two things it does what I want plus many more features I could, but don't use and it's free. Some of the other editors were similar, but took a long time going from one picture to the next. I thought perhaps we could expand on this thread and list software that we each like, both for editing photos and for videos so that we have a resource for to go to when looking for software.
