Help,

My son is able to navigate photoshop mix on his Ipad. The photoshop CC for PC is too complicated. Can anyone suggest a BASIC PC software program similar to mix? All he does is cut objects from 1 picture and add to another.

He currently is using Microsoft picture it publishing on an old Windows XP computer. It will not work on newer versions of Windows. We have another Windows 10 that he uses for everything else.He is non-verbal and a self learner. He will NOT let me show him how to do anything. He has to work thru it himself.

Thanks!

Correct answer Mylenium

Give Photoshop Elements a spin. It's affordable enough. Otherwise I'm not aware of another similar tool that would run on a desktop machine, though there's funny enough some alternate mobile apps. It's simply two different markets.

My kid has used GIMP in school - I have never used it and don't know anything about it, but it's free... Another app I have used and loved is Art Rage.

As Mylenium said, Photoshop Elements is worth a try . You can download a trial version of Photoshop Elements 15 and see how he takes to it.

I tried to get you a link but I am unsure which country you are in, and I always get my local (UK) Adobe site.

Good luck
