    I understand that. GIMP is one of the best FREE and open-source alternatives to Photoshop. It is quite difficult sometimes to carry out simple tasks as changing backgrounds. If its just an icon you want to edit, try using a simple icon editor instead.
    Nevertheless, if you try using GIMP, it will slowly grow on you and trust me, you will start loving it after some time.
    Good luck.:)

    You will find hue variation under " Colours " menu.

    it does not have hex values and if i convert hex to hue it does not convert it so it's not stable that.
