Something that\u2019s more suited for intermediate users like me or you (yes, not the UI\/UX pundits or advanced graphic designers) that would simply get the job done by doing straightforward touch-ups or minor edits? The answer is yes, and here are a couple of examples you can explore without the need of paying Adobe-like fees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol><li><strong>Gimp.<\/strong><br>Gimp is often perceived as the next best alternative to Photoshop. Not only it\u2019s powerful and applicable across all operating systems, it also include a generous range of functions and tools to complement regular users or even the savviest editors. Best of all, Gimp is free, and you can expand its usability by adding more plugins to broaden its kit count.<br><br><\/li><li><strong>Paint.Net.<\/strong><br>If Gimp is rather complicated to use, then Paint.Net is here to save your sanity. Its relatively straightforward menus and ease of navigation reminisces the good old UX of Microsoft Paint, which is a plus for those wanting something simple. Besides possessing such merits, Paint.Net is also loaded with adequate features, and it\u2019s low-end PC-friendly too.<br><br><\/li><li><strong>Pixelmator Pro.<\/strong><br>Pixelmator Pro is recognised for its simple and fuss-free single-window interface; a dream for those who can\u2019t stand cluttersome editing software. The toolbar is seamlessly integrated the best way possible to enable users to focus better on editing their content without being distracted, and there\u2019s even an option to hide it. Unfortunately, it\u2019s reserved for Mac users only.<br><br><\/li><li><strong>Photo Pos Pro.<\/strong><br>Another superb alternative to Photoshop, Photo Pos Pro encompasses a range of worthy tools and functions. This includes layer brushes, colour refining tools and batch edits with scripts for you to keep track of your work. The only downside though is users are only allowed to save files at 1,024 x 2,014 max.<br><br><\/li><li><strong>Affinity Photo.<\/strong><br>Unlike the rest, Affinity Photo is often coined as an alternative to both Photoshop and Adobe Lightroom. Why? It holds a wide array of tools that are designed for both designers and photographers. There\u2019s even HDR merging, Curves, Levels, and Panorama-stitching functions built-in as well alongside a host of other features one can find from Adobe\u2019s Photoshop.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><br><br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Are there any alternatives to photoshop?
