It's very simple and basic.
It's called Zoom Browser X.
It has "curves", sliders for brightening, contrast and adjusting saturation.

I also have a little tiny free PS by
Corel Snapfire Plus that is basically useless except for leveling horizons.

Thank you so much, Irene. It's so funny for me to look at this shot because my arm was extended out to take my own picture. No tripod...but I was able to fade my arm out of the shot in curves! Isn't that silly? I can still -picture- it there however! :) So pleased that you like this one. -Laura #6199545
