Affinity Photo for me!

I'd prefer FOSS but...GIMP ain't it.

Have used Photopea in* a bind in the past, it's also pretty good especially the clone GUI.

I moved to Affinity early this year, and it has been amazing!! I was expecting a long adjustment period after decades with Photoshop, but it's so similar that I picked it up super quick!

Another vote for Affinity. Excellent Adobe alternatives 1-time reasonable price. Such a breath of fresh air after so many subs.

Just an FYI that you might want to get some practice in with some Affinity alternatives, because they've been purchased by Canva, and so enshittification might set in any time.

It may enshittify, but since it's a one time purchase and not a subscription, you can keep using your version.

Oh that's really good.
