I’m sure there’s more.
Gimp is a bit of a stretch.
I've used it a lot, but unlike most of the others on this list, the commercial product (Photoshop) is so much better that I'm willing to shell out the monthly fee to use it over Gimp.
Back when Photoshop was $300 (600 todays money) It was fine for non-professional work.
It could use a little UI finesse, a content aware fill without plugins, and a regular human usable macroining system.
But for 90% of non-professional work clone, dodge, smudge, burn, masking and curves are perfectly serviceable.
I’ve found a nice workflow in gimp to touch my photos. It works wonderfully
I’m not sure what field you’re in and photoshop certainly is the standard but Affinity has been great for my needs and is pay once if you’re looking to avoid SAAS
https://www.photopea.com/ has everything I need for daily graphic touch ups.
Only problem I have with it is the potential situation of (seemingly) uploading pictures which is bad for confidential stuff.
It may be local but I don't trust it that much.
Now for personal projects: Absolutely. I even used it once on my phone. Great page!
Yeah, it does all i need and uses a format that will be compatible long into the near future, very useful.
Vectorpea is available too.
