This post of mine will only be useful to the small number of people who don't use these editors all that often, where I use only some often. <https://i.postimg.cc/sDWhsB18/editor-pic.jpg> my photo editor archive Irfanview: a. I mostly use it for fast viewing almost every image format b. It's also my batch processor for images; c. And, it's my "shrinker" "sizer" "cropper" for images; But I would never call Irfanview an "editor" in terms of what that means. Paint.NET a. I mostly use it for editing (i.e., greatly changing) images b. In my use model, that's mostly for screenshot editing c. As it is fantastic for adding text, arrows & circles/boxes Where I think it's the closest free 1:1 replacement for Adobe Photoshop. There are times when I use the plugins to both to add features. A. An example is an OCR plugin for Irfanview B. An example is a PDF plugin for Paint.NET I'm probably more well organized on a computer than any other human being you have ever met in your life, or will meet in the rest of your life. So what I have on my system is what I found over the years to work for me. If I look at what's installed at this very moment, each time I've needed a specialty editor in the past year or so, I've re-installed a tested editor. Here's a quick "dir /b" of my c:\app\editor\pic\ installation folder: analogexif fastone fotosketcher freehandpainter hip imagemagick inkscape iview krita paint.net photofiltre pinta pnet psp vicman xface Each of those "specialty" editors does "something" that neither Irfanview nor Paint.NET did that I had needed in the past year or so for images.
