Image software alternatives to Photoshop
November 6th, 2009 Posted in General
As everyone is aware, Photoshop is expensive.
Because of this there are a lot of alternatives available for free.
- Gimp
- Pixia
- Paint .net
- Xara
- Cinepaint
Out of the list Gimp is probably the one I’d recommend. It’s fully featured and sports a large community with many different plug-ins and tutorials available because of this.
With the new 2.6 version, Gimp now excels more than ever with features mimicing that of Photoshop CS4 with detachable canvases being the main one I have noticed.
For those of you who can’t bare to move away from photoshop then don’t forget about Photoshop Elements. Although it’s features are mainly cut back, so is it’s price, being roughly 1/6th of the price.
