    <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://community.sony.nl/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1092077323"&gt;@Taz634&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;The adobe software applications quite probably are the most used today. There is also free software from Sony, Imaging Edge Desktop, but it will not be as comprehensive.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I think of two options for raw editing free software,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Darktable (&lt;A href="https://www.darktable.org/install/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;https://www.darktable.org/install/&lt;/A&gt;), and&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;RawTherapee (&lt;A href="https://rawtherapee.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;https://rawtherapee.com/&lt;/A&gt;). Both are similar.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;For manipulating images, JPEG, PNG, TIFF, etc, there is&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;GIMP (&lt;A href="https://www.gimp.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;https://www.gimp.org/&lt;/A&gt;).&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;It also uses a plugin from darktable or RawTherapee which can open raw images as well.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;All three are free and can be installed on Linux, macOS or Windows.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I hope they will help.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I am sorry for the odd formatting.

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hello everyone I'm new here&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;But having recently got back into photography after a few years away I&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;See how things have moved on, still after finding a reasonable priced A68&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I would like to know what is the best free photo editing software for editing&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;In both jpeg and raw? I used to use Adobe photo shop but I'm sure things have&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Moved on.&lt;/P&gt;</description>
