    Good free photo editor?


    I've yet to find one. Here's what I've tried:
    • Adobe Photoshop express: not avail for PC
    • Darktable: UI sucks and lacks basic editing stuff
    • GIMP: UI also sucks and couldn't find functionality I wanted
    • Ashampoo: would not install (R/W error)
    • PhotoDirector: With "free" version, you can't save images without a watermark making it worthless
    • XnView: could not get effects to work

    Hello,

    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

    1. Since when are you facing this issue?
    2. Are you aware of any changes made on your computer recently?
    3. What exactly happen when you try to use the Photo editor?
    4. Which version of Windows are you currently using?

    I understand you are facing issues with Photo editor application, if you are using the Photo editor app which is downloaded from Microsoft Store, I suggest you to refer the following article and try few troubleshooting
    steps to fix issues with Photo editor
    and check if that helps.

    Microsoft has replaced Photo Editor with Microsoft Office Picture Manager, a new photo editing and cataloging program in Office 2010, in Office 2007, and in Office 2003.

    If the application has been removed from your PC, when you install Microsoft Office 2010, Microsoft Office 2007, or Microsoft Office 2003, I suggest you to refer the following article to reinstall

    and check if that helps.

    Reply back with the information, to help you further.

    Hope it helps.
