It's actually pretty nice, with several automatic adjustments, the features you'd want / need for advanced editing [though of course no AI], and it works with Photoshop compatible plugins. It's easier to use than The GIMP -- if you already know what the controls or adjustments do, e.g., Levels, there's really no learning curve. And as a portable app, it's painless to check it out. Monitoring 1st use in my Win11 VM, I got 1 new registry key for Visual Basic, which surprisingly it's written in, though it didn't seem slow or laggy. The first time I ran it it did add very many small files to its folder, so it'll take up more space than you'd think on a USB stick, if that's where you chose to put it.
