I use the Adobe Creative Suite to edit and print my images, but there are free resources available as well. The one that I have used personally that is user-friendly is Canva. I use the free version of Canva, but there are extra features you can use with the paid version. Krita is another Photoshop alternative I have heard of but haven’t personally used.
