Free desktop software for editing?

[DEL 707]

I have an android phone, which I'm using to take photos. I've been using a yellow lens as well as playing with the camera settings, but I can't seem to get the colours right.

I want to edit the photo's on my PC, rather then my phone. I've read on this forum that people use Light Room or photoshop. But are there any decent free or significantly cheaper software I can try. I really don't want to take out a subscription, just to edit the odd photo.

I don’t have any software recs so hopefully someone else can chip in for that.

You mention yellow lens but you should be using an orange lens if you want to counteract blue light. See that orange is opposite blue on the color wheel.

Have you looked into getting the Orphek lens kit on amazon? That seems to be the best affordable kit and you can stack the lenses (Like stack the orange with the anti-glare lens. Or stack yellow and orange lens to cancel out extra heavy blues and violets)

I might have that, or a very similar product.
They make the tank look very white.

I used GIMP some when I was shooting with a dslr. If your phone can shoot in raw it will give you most to work with but it's easy to spend a lot of time editing. I can usually get decent colors with an orange or yellow lens and adjusting the white balance in camera.
