![]() If you click on a link to download a trial version or buy a program, Life after Photoshop may receive a commission from the publisher. This is now pretty much universal amongst online publishers. Note: Life after Photoshop is funded by affiliate revenue. You can follow the links t o the individual reviews for more information, and I always recommend you download trial versions of programs to try them out and get a sense of how well they fit with your own shooting and editing style. ![]() This article is designed to offer a simple overview of the photo editing software market and Photoshop alternatives in particular. Both seem to me to be Adobe wannabes that trade off being almost as good for not quite as much money. However, I’ve tried both ACDSee and PaintShop Pro and I’m not keen. I have nothing against Windows and Windows software. The reviews and tutorials on Life after Photoshop are based on these Mac versions and I make the assumption (rightly, I hope) that the Windows versions will be the same. I work exclusively on a Mac, but all the programs but one in this list come in both Mac and Windows versions. So it seems to me the simplest and most ‘neutral’ way to list these programs is in alphabetical order. This is even more true for people like me who use two or more applications to get the full spread of features they want. The fact is, everyone will be looking for something different in their software, so trying to put this list in order of merit really doesn’t make much sense. Photographers want software that will organize and catalog their images, offer creative and inspiring preset effects, let them try out different image ‘looks’ on single images, add an effect to whole folders full of images at a time… and so on. Image editing software now has to do more than retouching, compositing and detailed Photoshop style manipulation. ![]() This is how Life after Photoshop came about. The fact is, though, that the whole field of image editing has opened up to a far wider audience who want to do a lot more with their images – and more quickly and simply – than Photoshop was ever designed for. You would just say Photoshop, and that would be it. Choosing the best image editing software used to be easy.
