I use Aperture 3 (Mac OS only) but it is no longer being supported by Apple (big surprise there, or not). It is very easy to use, and I think LightRoom is similar in its ease of learning. If you're on a Windows PC, then you can still find a stand-alone LR, but it won't be updated (ever). If you go for the subscription of PS and LR together, you don't have to use PS, just use the LR function and save yourself from learning PS. Still $10 a month with a 12-month contract, so you're on the hook for $120 a year. I don't know what happens if you decide to quit the subscription. You should ask about that. You will still have the images on your computer, but no more editing if you stop paying them.I’m shooting in raw+jpeg so I need one to open and edit well. Free or really cheap preferably!
Thanks in advance
This is a youtube tutorial on how to open raw photos with GIMP 2.10:The OP noted using raw files. GIMP will not open and convert raw files.

I love love picasa..old version or not.. it does a pretty good job.. and i thank you for telling me about it a while ago.. i will always remember that that was a good day and i enjoyed once again being able to edit my photos free........ it used to be free programs on older pc's..such a shame they took so much away and now everything is extra.. this picasa is just right for me.. i am sure theres better but i am satisfied.I use a couple editors
- OLD version of Picasa. Google no longer supports it, so you have to find some site that has it available for download. It is my 'quick and easy' editor that I use for most the photos I shoot for the yearbook. It can't do a lot, but it does 95% of what I normally do; straightening, lightening, and cropping.
- OLD version of Photoshop Elements. I got it bundled with something that I bought, so it was essentially free to me. Not as feature rich as full blown Photoshop, but good enough for me, and a LOT cheaper. And as limited as it is, compared to full Photoshop, I have not used 50% of it's capabilities.
Before Adobe switched to the subscription model, I had considered Lightroom and Photoshop.
I understand why companies switched to the subscription model. But it does not fit to how I work, so I currently do not subscribe to any software. For me it is a hobby, not a business, so I do not NEED to keep up to the current version. I upgrade after 3+ version upgrades, or when something that I need comes out. If I was in this professionally, then I would subscribe to PS.
It's as easy as Photoshop, don't know why people seem to think it's difficult.As was mentioned; GIMP is free, but not easy to learn.
