Alternatives for Adobe Photoshop

Five of the Best Alternatives for 


Adobe Photoshop







                       Have you ever thought of editing images  for your own? Well if yes, Adobe Photoshop is one of the best option for you. But with each update, the resource usage of Adobe Photoshop has increased. And at present Adobe Photoshop is one highly resource demanding application. So if you are having a low end PC but still wan't to edit images with some good professional touch just like with Photoshop, then we have some cool applications for you.

  1. GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program) 
            GIMP is a free program for such photo retouching, image composition and image authoring. Essentially it's the closest thing to Photoshop you can get for free.

GIMP is available for various platforms like Microsoft Windows, OS X, GNU/Linux.

            Paint.net is a free and very capable image editing software for Windows. Great alternative to Photoshop for people that do not need all the stuff Photoshop offers.

     3. PhotoPea

            Photopea is completely an online editor which can be used effectively through Chromium/Firefox based browsers. It's interface is somewhat similar to Photoshop. Even the Photoshop files with .psd extension can be opened and edited through this online platform. All what you need is a good internet connection. The reason why I include it in this list is because of less resource demand as well as no additional downloads.
         
Photopea is available as free with a maximum of 30 step histories and quite a bit of Ads.
There is also a Premium membership starting from $9  for 30days.
            
     
     4. PIXLR
            
             Pixlr is also an online editor just like Photopea. It is a website packed of quite a lot of features like an AI based Background Remover, a simple editor(Pixlr X) as well as an advanced photo editor(Pixlr E). Currently the free version is available with access to Pixlr X and Pixlr E with basic editing tools and a limited set of overlays and stickers. The free version is supported by Ads so there are quite a lot of ads in the website.

           Currently Pixlr plans are available from $4.9 /month for Premium and $14.99 /month for Creative Pack.
                 

      5. Krita

              Krita is a professional, open-source raster graphics editor with advanced digital painting and sketching tools and workflow features. Rather than editing it is mainly used by artists for creating concept arts, illustrations and comics, etc. It is a good choice for digital painting and 2D animation.


It is available on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and Chrome OS.
