Photo editing without internet connection

[vetra]

Hi,

I'm a new member here. Can anyone recommend a decent editing software that can be downloaded onto a computer and doesn't require an internet connection? I currently use Photo Director and Corel Paint Shop Pro, but they both require an internet connection to use. In a couple of months I'll be going on a safari in Africa where I suspect internet will likely be spotty and probably non-existent. It would be nice to be able to spend some down time during the safari to do some at least rudimentary editing to some of the photos I hope to take. Last year I was in Alaska and had a long 8 hour ferry ride that I would have loved to have used some of the time editing photos but couldn't because I didn't have any internet. Frustrating. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!

Hello and welcome. Try Adobe Photoshop Elements....

I use Corel Paint Shop Pro, but I have version 11, which does not need an internet connection. For any of the commercial programs you would need an older version which you own, rather than a newer one which you rent.

I use RawTherapee; no internet required once you download it. It's similar to Adobe Lightroom from what I hear but I've never used Lightroom.

I'm a newbie and use Rawtherapee for most things. I use Gimp for healing and cloning. Both are free and don't require the internet.

Corel's website says that PaintShop Pro needs an internet connection for online help and tutorials, but it's editing features (with the possible exception of some plugins) do not. Even Photoshop works offline; are you sure that PSP does not? Most modern editors have to call home now and then to verify your license, but you should be able to go months before that is necessary, if at all.

I've been using NX Studio from Nikon for quite a while now.

Its a free download and works standalone, no subscription or internet connection needed

If you're looking for an easy to use + downloadable to your PC ... try "FastStone MaxView"
Very easy to use, some powerful tools - but no cloning capabilities - and the results are excellent
Hope this helps, Phil
