Hi, new here! I love your images and I'm thinking of using some from your unrestricted stock to practice my digital art skills (I'm a beginner). Can I edit with external software like Snapseed or are there art tools here on DA that I don't know of? Should I upgrade to Core if I want to make my edits? I'm sorry if I ask too much, I just want to know so I can abide by your rules. Thanks!
