Software I have used and all worthy of your consideration:


Luminar
My favorite software! Easy to use and a great price . Very versatile!

On1
Steep learning curve but they provide excellent tutorials. Not a subscription service but the offer an upgrade each year at a discounted price.

Photoshop
Enough said! Now a subscription service. I hate that, don't you?

Lightroom
Great for cataloguing photos and quick editing. Subscription again!

Micrografx Picture Publisher
Although Picture Publisher was discontinued, I still use this software at times. I believe they were bought out by Corel in 2000 and immediately discontinued.Some old copies are still available on software share sites.
