You don't have to use Photoshop! There are alternatives that are faster, cheaper and maybe even better
Photoshop's reign as the king of image editors could be nearing its end as it comes under attack from not one direction, but three.
Photoshop's first problem is that it's quite specialized. It can edit, enhance and manipulate your images with enormous depth and subtlety. But that's all it does. It can't catalog and search your whole photo library, it won't help you share photos and it's not designed for instant one-click effects and simple batch processing.
Photoshop's second problem is that it's not the best at everything it does. Raw processing is becoming increasingly important for quality-conscious photographers and Adobe Camera Raw, Photoshop's raw conversion add-on, is powerful enough, but does not deliver the best quality.
Photoshop's third problem is called Serif Affinity Photo. Currently a Mac-only program and still in beta, it takes up the cudgels to battle Photoshop head-on in the professional image editing territory it's held for so long. Affinity Photo is cheap, fast and applies effects live, in real time, in a way that makes some Photoshop processes look plodding.
We have picked a winner, but it's a double-act rather than a single program, and the rest are catching up so fast that this could all change again very quickly.
1. Adobe Photoshop CC
Still the most powerful image-editor, and Adobe's controversial subscription plan could pay offPlatform: Mac and PC | Image-editing: Yes | Cataloguing: Limited | Raw conversion: Yes
Photoshop is both sophisticated and limited . For layers, masks, selections, retouching and complex, multi-step imaging processes, it's impossible to beat, and it manages to present these tools in a remarkably clean, fast and efficient interface. On the downside, it doesn't offer a library of single-click creative effects – for this you need extra plug-ins. Photoshop is like a giant box of spanners – it has all the tools you could possibly want, but it's not going to show you how to fix your car. Worse, it doesn't offer proper image cataloguing tools (Adobe Bridge is really just a glorified folder browser), so for that you need the next program in our list...
Thanks for sharing in detail. Your blog is an inspiration! Apart of really useful tips, it's just really ! This post will be effectively Just about everything looks good displayed.

ReplyDeleteIt still comes with a ton of powerful features like layers, adjustments, and user-created plugins, but is simple enough that Paint.net is (at least in our opinion) the simplest option on the list. complete newcomers can grasp it immediately. The features are across the top, and filters are accessible from a drop-down menu.
Some of the special effects are pretty cool: sharpen, blur, distort, emboss, etc. You can even get some Instagram-esque vintage effects in there for good measure. We don’t want to waste too much time on this one. It’s got a lot of features, an easy interface, and a simple layout. If you’re struggling with others on this list, then stick with the easiest option.
