Hello everyone,

I've been using Helicon Filter on a regular basis for post-processing & retouching of my Powershot A610 JPEGS. Great tool, many features and possibilities, fast and intuitive user-interface, fluent processing, imho good results.

Unfortunately the sales of Helicon Filter were not sufficient to continue its development and support. Heliconsoft stopped development and support of Helicon Filter.

That is why I am looking for a similar (or "superior" :-D) software. It should have a comparable feature set, be under "active development", and an intuitive user-interface would be desirable...

I don't need "DAM" and other organizing toolsets / digital libraries. I don't want them. I hate them ^^ I organize and sort my files myself via file manager / windows explorer.

I am undecided about if it should be freeware or commercial ware... depends on the software and price ;) (I am a casual photographer, so it shouldn't be too expensive. I do not like annual subscription models)

What can you recommend?

I look forward to reading your answers :)

operating system: Windows 10 Prof (1803)

I don't think there's anything quite like it on the market, well, that type of interface and suggested workflow.
Try a trial version of Affinity Photo?
 
No, not yet! But I will...
Everybody is like "Dude, try Affinity Photo. It's da bomb" :D

The brush tool @ Affinity Photo ist just incredible... :eek:
Don't forget FastStone image viewer, free and just like file explorer, but for images
