...I tried "p@ssword", it's not that.....

Seriously, change the link to a web resource not your Gmail inbox.

EDIT : thanks for the link, that's a useful resource.

Affinity looks good though - thanks for the tip OP.

Had a look and there was a lot of fluff rather than what it did.
Also 27 trackers blocked from just opening the link and going for reject all equivalent.

I've used it for a while, the paid for one, grrr,  

Actually it is a good competitor for Photoshop, there are YT video on the new version, but the AI bits do not work unless you pay for a Canva sub. 

Free Canva is available, but no AI

Reviews reckon the AI is carp anyway

I was recommended a simple editor called Gimp.
I was reluctant to search for that because I wondered if it was a joke but it's a thing. The site was so woolly in its front page my eyes crossed trying to work it out.

Gimp is a struggle to learn from zero, there is a "patch" called Photogimp, which looks like Photoshop, so if you know PS then you could use Gimp + the patch

or just use free affinity and YT tutorials

It was free years ago - then they started charging (I have both versions) now it is free again. 

I use it from time to time and does what I want

It was previously 3 separate programmes/apps (Affinity Designer/Photo/Publisher).
Don't remember them ever being free outside of beta versions & limited time trials.
