Nikon capture NX-D free editing software is good, I use it on 99% of my photos.

I did have a quick play with that, Pete, but I found it very confusing (I do get confused easily, and often=)

Half the sliders were greyed out for reasons I didn't understand, and there wasn't much in the way of idiots guides online.

After feeling frustrated by it, and not being keen of buying or renting Lightroom and/or Photoshop, I saw a lot of talk about Affinity photo and quite a few guides to actually using it, I splashed out (mostly because it was on offer). So far so good. It seems very comprehensive, and complex, but the simple stuff that I need does seem pretty easy so far.

The sliders are grayed out because you where shooting jpgs in raw you will be able to use them all.

Ah ha, thank you.
I think I'll stick with affinity now though. So far it feels easier to do the basic stuff, and I have lots of guide videos to hold my hand... plus I've paid for it now, so I can't NOT use it=)

Excellent macro work Rob

One from a family holiday to Tenerife earlier this year which I've only just got round to processing!

Thanks Amar. Macro has finely forced me into learning about flash, diffusing light, balancing flash and ambient etc. Early days. I bought the affordable Meike MK320 for MFT. The first flash I've ever used or bought.

Rather enjoying going through my holiday photos. Here's another beach scene. I may have enough for a little series of beach images here. Let's see where this leads.....
