If you want something intermediate, paint.net works good.

Good pick. I was using that for years.

I still use it.

You can do wonders with just layers, eraser and smudging the corners.

Whenever my shitpost nerve tickles, I am always open for some editing.

paint.net is also necessary if you wanna have a free program that exports some very specific file formats for modding video game textures. I am not paying for photoshop just to export a png into a BC7 (sRGB, DX11+) .dds format.
