If you've heard about people "fixing" photos in Adobe Lightroom and are now curious to try your own hand at it, but find the $100 buy in a bit rich for your taste, try Windows Photos.
Right click any photo on your picture folder using WIndows 8 or 10 and select "open with" then choose "Windows Photos" instead of photo viewer.
Clicking on the photo will bring up a small menu at the bottom of the image, cropping is a great place to start, or you dive in and select "edit."
You'll get basic and advanced options for altering the photo. The basic ones work like presets and just require clicking on different versions of your picture on the right side of your screen. The advanced ones give you a wheel where you can alter values like contrast and color temperature.
If you find something you really like you can save the newly altered image as a separate file from the original or replace the original with your new version. If you don't, you haven't hurt anything, you can always reset to the original version or just click out of the image.

...first time poster
I finally joined after purchasing a K-S1 recently. I had been fairly happy on Samsung but was never able to get the exact set up on a camera I wanted.
Then i saw the K-S1 with its' prominent command dial, Pentax menu system i enjoyed on a q10 I used, and the amazingly low price tag.
I'm enjoying the more varied Pentax lens selection, and the fact that I can actually afford a 2.8 standard zoom.
Most of the pictures I take are of my family and such events, especially the passel of grand-kids/nieces/nephews etc. we have now.
Cheers,
Fibinaci
