When you, or I, shoot a photo, it is best to try to shoot the image so that as little editing as possible is needed. But when editing is needed there is a couple of options out there. The one that I like personally is Photoshop. The biggest issue that some people have with this program is there is a lot of details to learn to be able to use it. It is a complex program and is a favorite of a lot of professionals. I would have to say I don't even know a portion of what the program is capable of. I am still learning it. Some people will spend a year or more in college in classes learning how to use all the aspects of this program.
If this is not for you, or you don't want to spend money on a program because you don't plan to do that much editing, then there is options online that are free to download and use that can do everything you may need. One of these options is Gimp. Here is a direct link to their site https://www.gimp.org. There are also others, but be sure if you down load anything, that you do it from that product or companies direct site and not a 3rd party site, those can cause problems you just don't want.
So keep these tips in mind, go out, be safe and take some great pictures.
Here is some screen shots of photoshop so you can see the basic of what it looks like. It is not a lot of what is in the program though. This does not even start to scratch the surface of the program.
These screen shots are from an iMac. If you are running this on a PC the screens will look a little different but still be close.
