Quick general photo re-touch software
Discussion
Hello,
Can anyone please recommend general purpose "family friendly" software, that's simple and performs ~ below 5 basic tasks very well and quickly.
For the purpose of very quickly retouching general photos, NOT for top end use, ie lots of phone camera pictures, perhaps too dark, so needs brightening, cropping and that's about it, bosh, save (as sensible file size) next.
Thanks.

Well, you may scoff, but lightroom will do that in about 12 seconds.
Import photos ... lightroom does it automatically.
Click on photo.
Click on auto fix.
Export pic to destination in size you require (first time takes about a minute, from then on, 2 seconds to rename).
It’s the best photo manipulation software out ther imho (and I have or have used most of them).
Free download last time I looked, but then you have to pay. Just depends how good you want your pics to look (as it’ll do everything in great detail when you are ready).
Just take pics in RAW...(if your tech allows), as in 10years time, you’ll wish you had.

If you are running Windows 10 then the inbuilt Photos program is actually pretty good for this.
Alternatively Picasa, whilst discontinued, can still be downloaded and will work fine.
Easy to find, here for example:
