When you say edit, what do you mean?

Edit as in simple things such as colour, contrast, gamma etc? Layering such as HDR? Or chopping things about?

[paddy138]

colour, contrast, cropping, blurring background

whats layering and gamma

[Jack]

Gamma, basically its contrast lol

Layering is applying layers to images so you can break it up and add/edit sections without affecting other parts of the image.

TBH if you want to do everything, your best bet is to go purchase a copy of Photoshop or PaintShop Pro (or look for a free demo version first to get a handle on how things work).
