I do have an excellent photo editor (actually, I have three of them)... which I primarily use to crop or straighten photos I have taken, or to enhance faded details on cemetery stones. By far, most of the pictures I take are for preservation purposes - I am a volunteer with Find-a-Grave and have been documenting gravestones in rural cemeteries for many years.

But tweaking / editing the photos I take is really not the point. I would rather just take a better photo to begin with... Thinking

Which is why I am always conscious of lighting, framing, composition, scale, angles, background, perspective, and so on when I prepare to take a photo...

I would rather choose and frame the shot 'before' I take the picture (though one certainly could crop later). But I am sure we all have also seen daylily photos where the colours have been 'enhanced' to a point that, when you see the photo, you think to yourself: 'No. Way.'

And I personally dislike that sort of tweaking and 'enchancing' (of the colours of a bloom) artificially on the computer. So if I can use an app which gives me more accurate colours or a sharper image... I would rather start with that.
Life is what happens while you are making other plans.
