Dear all, welcome to this review! Let's see in a few minutes the top 3
photo editing software available on the market on 2020, according to
plans avaialable and your personal needs and skills.
If you are a professional photographer our choice is definitely Adobe
Lightroom Classic CC. Since 12 years ago Lightroom leads with a great
photo management system and loads of features for photo corrections and
adjustments including temperature, contrast, lightness and clarity,
full Tone Curve manipulation on both luminance and all the RGB channels
and also single-color adjustment on Hue and Saturation. It also includes
outstanding tools for noise reduction, dehaze, lens correction and
perspective transformation, plus editing and brushing tools for the most
precise corrections. Also get your modifications under control with the
Histogram window, the several Filters for masking and the Snapshots
list, saving all the versions of modifications made on the image for
direct comparison.

Lightroom Classic is indeed awesome and complete but it still needs
either a monthly or yearly subscription plan. To get rid of these
subscriptions and go for a perpetual license, you can think about Corel
PaintShop Pro.
PaintShop Pro has three main workspaces: Manage to organize your photos,
Adjust to correct these and Edit to make professional editing. It comes
with most of the professional features inside Lightroom CC but also
several brushing tools to make full photo manipulation like Photoshop CC,
including a layers system to control objects overlapping. PaintShop is
definitely a great combination of advanced photo corrections and picture
manipulation.

If your skill level is not high, no problem! You can enter into photo
editing with Adobe Photoshop Elements, one of the easiest products
available on this field that can be bought with a definitive perpetual
license, without a continuous subscription.
According to us this is the best solution to make your first corrections,
due to its super-easy and intuitive user interface divided in three
workspaces (Quick, Guided, Expert) depending on your skills level. Use the
Quick workspace to make simple and fast corrections on Exposure, Lighting,
Colors and Details. If this is not enough you can switch to the Expert
workspace to use a complete set of editing tools to brush on the picture,
at a very similar level to the professional Photoshop CC, including
brushing tools, red eyes, selection tools and much more. If this is too
hard you can also make advanced corrections from the Guided workspace,
following suggestions and instructions step-by-step.
If this is not enough you can make your photos special by adding great
ready templates to apply effects, textures and outstanding frames.
