Wot was free to a good home, and allowed you to manipulate grphics files
- swap colours, adjust parallax, light/dark, &c. Jbexrq in Windows (so I
haven't hfrq it this century, having ditch tit for Linux. Now hfr The
Gimp, which isn't so intuitive, but just as good resluts)

Sounds like it might be Irfanview.

I've used Irfanview for decades.
It's simple. it's free, it works !
I often copy or screen-capture images from the web
and use Irfanview to crop and/or reduce the filesize for email.
Also - I'll scan an old photo and use Irfanview to
crop / sharpen / reduce filesize to send in an email.
A lot of websites now use a " webp " format that
I'll save - open with Irfanview - and re-save as a jpg.

Thanks. My only regret on dumping Windows was losing Irfanview - it did
work in Wine, but clunkily - but that was early days. My last Windoze
iteration was W 2000.

You can do anything Irfanview does in The Gimp, but not as easily, and
The Gimp takes *ages* to load in comparison.

Perhaps I ought to learn to play with building stuff now I have all this
spare time forced on me innit.

I usteruse PSP, which I liked a lot, but when Coral took it over they
inserted virus-like advertising nonsense into the registry, even in the
fully-paid version, so they lost my custom. I can manage quite well enough
with Irfanview.

Of course I cannot do this these days, but who remembers the old days when
adding your effect to a whole picture allowed you to go on a short vacation
while it crunched the numbers? The Amiga, was it not that tended to be used
for that.

I forget the name, but yes, there was a wonderful program for that, no
real thing [glottal stop] Yes, Dpaint. I printed Xmas cards with that
one year, before it was really possible in BillyOS. Pity that the Amiga died.
