Affinity 3 by Canva incorporates a set of powerful, modern digital image editing tools (previously sold separately as Affinity Photo) and I use it all the time.

But it's not really geared towards one-touch adjust and fix - the target market is the enthusiast/professional photographer, and at that level I reckon it's very good at what it does.

The basic version is free, and I think fun to use. By all means give it a try: just be aware that there is a learning curve.

It includes AI elements that might offer one-touch editing fixes, but you need a paid Canva premium subscription to use them.

Another option might be a consumer-oriented product like Adobe Photoshop Elements (one-off payment, but won't break the bank) which is more aimed towards one-touch quick fixes.

Ultimately I suppose there's a trade-off between how much time and effort you're prepared to put into learning a new piece of software and how much you're prepared to pay.

Just re-read the original post. If you can see yourself, then the solution I originally suggested (uncover the lens) isn't correct. Apologies.

Happy Christmas one and all!

DXO have just updated Nik Collection 6 (there's an update option when you launch it) and on my setup (AS 3.0.2, macOS 15.7.2 Intel) the Apply button is now available and works.
