NOT Quite PhotoShop Quality But Close

I am disappointed in the Blemish Brush Tool, which I use to fix a lot of my old ancestor’s photos. It’s not very quick nor responsive, as with PhotoShop. Sometimes it doesn’t seem to work at all, and starts ading more dots in the same area. Using the Healing Brush Tool, I can make do with repairs I need to do, though it’s not the most ideal. I can click on a lot of small “blemishes” or imperfections with PhotoShop very quickly, not so with this app’s brush. That being said, I do like the Haze Tool a lot, and also the Median Brush Tool that takes takes some of the graininess from the photos and smooths them out. I actually do like the layout of this app, better than Photoshop. The tools are easier to find (I’ve not yet memorized many keyboard shortcuts). It is annoying though that the top menu bar keeps disappearing from view. There may be a way to change the behavior, but I have not found out where as yet. I have found that I can pretty much do most of the typical edits for old photos that I can do in PhotoShop. I don’t use LightRoom, so to pay $9.95 a month just to use the PhotoShop app is pricey. I may find myself migrating more and more to using this app, IF they can fix the responsiveness of the Blemish Brush Tool.
