I want to try my hand at photo editing, but I am unwilling to use Photoshop because I hate the idea of software as a service. What other options are there? I´ll mainly be using the software for making memes and cleaning up vacation photos and the like, nothing super fancy, and I don't mind paying for the software once.

 

Thanks.

You can try Gimp (which is an obligatory mention), but it's quite clunky.

Maybe you'll like it, but in my experience it's not great for photo editing.

 

Affinity Photo or Corel Paintshop Pro might be worth a look too, these have free trials and the full version is a one-time payment (if my memory serves me right).

Windows 10 Photos does all that I need, it's my favorite by far. it doesn't overwhelm you with a bloated interface. Before Photos I was using Windows Live Photo Gallery.
