What is the Best Photo Editing App

Speaking of foto editing apps? There's a great pic of me on my wedding day, this past March. (I remarried as my first wife passed on a couple of years ago.) The problem with the foto is that it's in the kitchen.. I want to change backgrounds. All the apps show it to be so easy, but it really isn't. Any advice? Or am I crashing this thread. If so, I'll just shut up and go away, like a good little mod.

There's not that many android 10 devices out yet. There's not even enough data to add android 10 to the charts. It'll get android 10 support eventually.

This is something better suited for a desktop application. Adobe PS is my go to for this which luckily(CS6) also works on linux.

If it's not a dark photo and there's plenty of contrast between you and the background, then you might just get away with simply using the "magic wand" and/or "quick selection" tools. If not you'll need to use the pen tool with some anchor points.

Here's some tutorials:

You can also do this in Gimp which is free and available for windows, mac, and linux. There's also video tutorials for it...

That's a bit of a vague question, please elaborate.
Are you looking to do serious photo editing involving retouching, masking, etc.? On the other hand, if all you need is something to do basic tasks like scaling, cropping, simple color/cast fixes, etc. than most photo gallery apps already include that kind of functionality. So if your phone (what model phone do you have and more importantly which version of Android is it running) already has the Gallery app and/or the Google Photos app you don't need to install another app.
