I'm sure there is a thread on this somewhere, but don't want to dig. Apologies
My niece is young but seems to have caught the photography bug with her smartphone. I think she has a really good eye with some promise. I just bought her a Nikon D3200 to kind of expand her horizons--and also give her access to my lenses if she decides to stick with this.
She uses a PC and her family is on a budget.
Suggestions for an inexpensive or free software program for photo editing? Ideally one that could process RAW, but since she is just starting out and on a tight budget, JPEG alone would work.
At some point if this becomes something she sticks with I'd get her Lightroom. But at this point, I'm looking for something that lets her do basic editing and get a feel for manipulating her images in post.
The D3200 includes some Nikon software, but I don't have any experience using it and don't know what it is capable of.
Would welcome any ideas.
