href=\"https:\/\/www.adobe.com\/products\/photoshop.html\">Adobe Photoshop<\/a> has been the go-to photo editor for decades, and it\u2019s easily one of the best photo editors on the market. But that doesn\u2019t mean Photoshop is for everyone, and there is a lot of photo editing software out there that beat it in affordability or features, or just bring something new to the table.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_to_Look_for_a_Photoshop_Alternative\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_0\">What to Look for a Photoshop Alternative<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Here are some general things to look out for when considering a different image editor. We weren\u2019t looking for programs that perfectly match Photoshop, but they still needed to meet criteria to be worth including.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>The Features:\u00a0<\/b>Every person\u2019s editing needs are different, but regardless, the program you switch to should still provide the basics, even if it\u2019s focusing on simplicity. Most desktop photo editors feature effects, resizing, trimming, and color adjustment and are found in every program on this list. Of course, Photoshop includes a lot more than that, but those are the features a program\u00a0<em>needs<\/em> to have to even be considered.<\/li>\n<li><strong>RAW File Editing:\u00a0<\/strong><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/howto\/39811\/what-is-camera-raw-and-why-would-a-professional-prefer-it-to-jpg\/\">RAW files<\/a> are often used in photography since they don\u2019t compress the quality of photos. They capture more detail, allowing for more freedom in the editing process. If you\u2019re a photographer, you\u2019ll definitely want the ability to edit these files, so we made sure every program on this list could handle them.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Photoshop Compatibility: <\/strong>If you\u2019ve used Photoshop for years, then chances are you have a lot of old projects you don\u2019t want to lose. Fortunately, many high-end photo editors can accept Photoshop project files (or .PSD files), so you don\u2019t lose any projects. We\u2019ll make a special note of the programs that accept these files.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Performance:\u00a0<\/strong>When dealing with advanced features, it\u2019s easy to bog down a computer\u2019s performance while photo editing. This is inevitable, but we still made sure the programs we included here are optimized to cut down on performance issues.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Platforms:\u00a0<\/strong>Photoshop was available on Windows and macOS, along with a largely\u00a0identical iPadOS version. On that note, we primarily looked for replacements on those platforms, but some of the programs here are also available on other platforms like Linux.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pricing:\u00a0<\/strong>Whether it\u2019s a one-time purchase or subscription-based like Photoshop is, you should know how much you have to dish out for your new editor. We\u2019ll lay out everything in detail for each program, but we also have some free options here if you\u2019re on a budget.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Best_Overall_Affinity_Photo_WindowsmacOSiPadOS\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_1\">The Best Overall: Affinity Photo (Windows\/macOS\/iPadOS)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure style=\"width: 1600px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-93766 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/p\/uploads\/2021\/07\/9480fd3c.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\" data-credittext=\"Serif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Serif<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>While there are certainly complaints to be made about Photoshop, at the end of the day, it\u2019s still an excellent, all-encompassing photo editor. The program\u2019s design makes accessing the varied tools easy, and it works great whether you\u2019re creating compositions, tweaking a photo, or even drawing. So if you don\u2019t want to step too far away from what makes Photoshop great, then\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/affinity.serif.com\/en-us\/photo\/\">Affinity Photo<\/a> is for you.<\/p>\n<p>It only takes a few minutes for a Photoshop user to get acquainted with Affinity Photo\u2014from features to design, the programs are very similar. If Photoshop has a feature, Affinity Photo likely does as well, making it an easy choice regardless of whether you\u2019re brand-new to photo editing or have been using Photoshop for years and don\u2019t want to spend weeks learning a new program. You can also load Photoshop files in Affinity Photo for an even smoother transition.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t let that trick you into thinking Affinity Photo is just a carbon copy either\u2014Affinity manages to make a lot of smaller, modern touches to the program that makes it feel fresh compared to Photoshop. The UI is more colorful, there are live editing previews (so you know what a certain effect will do before using it), and even something as simple as moving an image around the canvas is smoother. Affinity Photo was released in 2015, so it has all the benefits you would expect from a more modern program while still retaining all the powerful tools found in Photoshop.<\/p>\n<p>Affinity Photo\u2019s final advantage over Photoshop is that it merely costs a one-time purchase of $49.99 instead of a subscription. That\u2019s just for the desktop version, however\u2014the iPadOS version only costs $19.99. You will have to pay for both individually if you require all the platforms.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Best_for_Windows_Users_Corel_PaintShop_Pro_2021_Windows\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_2\">The Best for Windows Users: Corel PaintShop Pro 2021 (Windows)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure style=\"width: 1600px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-93767 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/p\/uploads\/2021\/07\/fd191375.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\" data-credittext=\"Corel\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Corel<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.paintshoppro.com\/en\/products\/paintshop-pro\/standard\/\">PaintShop Pro<\/a> is another advanced photo editor after Photoshop\u2019s crown. It offers some unique features compared to the Adobe-owned giant and is built from the ground up specifically for Windows. It naturally covers the basics you\u2019d expect and can also handle Photoshop project files. There are AI-powered editing tools, one-touch enhancements for photography, and comprehensive tools for drawing and graphic design.<\/p>\n<p>PaintShop Pro offers a lot of versatility with how many tools it provides and helps ensure it can cover all of your image editing needs\u2014regardless of whether you\u2019re looking to dive in deep or just make some quick adjustments. Want to fine-tune an HDR photo perfectly? You can do that or just use auto-enhancements to save yourself the hassle.<\/p>\n<p>There are even multiple modes built into PaintShop you can switch between for different levels of editing complexity. These change the way the program looks to limit the number of tools visible\u2014no point in being overwhelmed by every option the program offers if you\u2019re just doing something simple. It\u2019s an interesting way to handle the large list of features an advanced editor like this offers and gives PaintShop a unique identity from its competitors.<\/p>\n<p>PaintShop Pro 2021 costs a one-time purchase of $79.99.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Best_Free_Option_GIMP_WindowsmacOSLinux\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_3\">The Best Free Option: GIMP (Windows\/macOS\/Linux)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure style=\"width: 1600px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-93773 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/p\/uploads\/2021\/07\/47c43ec5.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\" data-credittext=\"The GIMP Team\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">The GIMP Team<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gimp.org\/\">GIMP<\/a> is perhaps the most well-known photo editor here. GIMP is open-source, which means anyone with the technical know-how can open up its source code, modify things, and ship that out for other users. There are plenty of third-party add-ons and plugins that expand the program\u2019s utility, but even if you don\u2019t touch those, loads of high-end tools are still built into GIMP by default.<\/p>\n<p>You can use various brushes (including custom Photoshop ones) for drawing, trim, cut, and blend photos to your heart\u2019s content and fine-tune colors all within this one, completely free program. Its third-party support merely strengthens GIMP \u2014it\u2019s still an incredibly strong contender on its own.

If you want to take a more hands-on approach, there are still some in-depth tools you can mess around with to get that perfect look. It\u2019s a fantastic tool for photographers especially, but it still has merits when creating designs and compositions.<\/p>\n<p>On top of that, Fotor is available on a ton of platforms, so you\u2019ll never be too far away from it. The features are mostly the same across different devices (notably, RAW file editing is only available on Windows and macOS), so you can easily pick up where you left off no matter what device you have with you. Regardless, whether you\u2019re in the browser or on your phone, Fotor has some amazing editing tools on offer. Although, it lacks support for .PSD files, so if you\u2019re coming from another editor transitioning can mean losing projects.<\/p>\n<p>Fotor is free to use, but there will be ads, and you won\u2019t have access to the background remover, beauty effects, or stock images. If you want to get rid of ads and gain access to all the tools, you\u2019ll need Fotor Pro, which costs $8.99 a month or $39.99 a year. You need to sign up for Fotor Pro+ for the stock images, which costs $19.99 a month or $89.99 a year. These subscriptions apply to all platforms Fotor is available on, so once you start paying for one platform, the features unlock on the others as well.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Best_Web_App_Editor_Pixlr\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_7\">The Best Web App Editor: Pixlr<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure style=\"width: 1600px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-93772 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/p\/uploads\/2021\/07\/9c0a9001.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\" data-credittext=\"Pixlr\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Pixlr<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>As time goes on, web-based tools are becoming more and more viable, and <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/redirect.viglink.com\/?key=204a528a336ede4177fff0d84a044482&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fpixlr.com%2F\">Pixlr<\/a> is a great example of this.

You can also open .PSD in Pixlr, so you can safely transition from other editing tools.<\/p>\n<p>Pixlr is free to use, but there will be ads, the resolution is maxed at 4096 x 4096, and the free version will lock certain advanced editing tools such as the bokeh editor away. <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/redirect.viglink.com\/?key=204a528a336ede4177fff0d84a044482&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fpixlr.com%2Fpricing\/\">Pixlr Premium<\/a>, however, gets rid of ads, grants access to all the editing tools, and bumps the max resolution up to 8196 x 8196 for $7.99 a month or $59.00 a year.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Best_for_Drawing_Krita_WindowsmacOSLinux\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_8\">The Best for Drawing: Krita (Windows\/macOS\/Linux)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure style=\"width: 1600px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-93765 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/p\/uploads\/2021\/07\/f6f088f1.jpg\" alt=\"Main editing page of Krita digital drawing program\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\" data-credittext=\"Krita\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Krita<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>While it\u2019s easy to focus on Photoshop\u2019s editing tools, the program is also known for its drawing capabilities. Thanks to the great support for custom brushes in Photoshop, it\u2019s a fantastic tool for creating digital art, but now you can switch to a program solely designed around that.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/krita.org\/en\/\">Krita<\/a> is an open-source drawing program that features a customizable UI, plenty of in-depth features for drawing, painting, and even animation, and support for custom Photoshop brush files. If you use Photoshop as a drawing program, you likely have an extensive library of custom brushes you\u2019d rather not lose, so Krita will let you continue using them without issue. On top of that, Krita has no issue handling .PSD files, so you won\u2019t lose any of your past projects.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to being open-source, Krita also has an extensive community creating third-party add-ons and plugins to make use of. It\u2019s also completely free, so there\u2019s no risk in trying it out.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\nsetTimeout(function(){\n  !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n  {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n  n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n  if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n  n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n  t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n  s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window, document,'script',\n  'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n  fbq('init', '1137093656460433');\n  fbq('track', 'PageView');\n  },3000);\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
