Doc Carling 707 Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 (edited) Well, I use two. PhotoImpact X3. That is a very old one, but still useful. The second is a professional tool that calls Affinity Photo. Edited September 11, 2020 by Doc Carling Link to post Share on other sites
Chroma Starlight 491 Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 (edited) Still using a copy of Photoshop CS2, though I'm starting to play with the open source cross-platform app Darktable actual photographic raw/digiprint work.

Chic Aeon 17,493 Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 I use Corel Paintshop Pro (currently X19). Good price and it does what I need it to do. Unfortunately Corel now blocks installations of old versions even if you have your key codes etc. That was depressing as the older versions worked just fine. So it is a BIT like a subscription rather than buying software. And I had PhotoImpact from the original version 1 (1995 I think) and it was great. Sorry to see it disappear. I think that last version is the only one that will run on Win10 -- or maybe it doesn't. I haven't had it on a computer in a few years. Does some things that no other software that I know if does :D. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Tagar1k 10 Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Without a doubt Photoshop is the most popular out there, but there's also a very good alternative software called Krita. There are unnoticeable differences between these two, and I highly recommend using it instead of GIMP. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Laurel Aurelia 1,314 Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 I am excited to try out Krita. I cut my teeth on Photoshop in the early 2000s but have been using GIMP for the past few years and it has suited my needs just fine. From the articles I've read on it so far, I don't think it does the same things as Gimp per se. I read it was a bit more like Illustrator, so its great for creating unique digital art but not so much for retouching photographs which has been my focus with my snapshots so far. I think it will be fun to play with though in addition. Link to post Share on other sites
Madelaine McMasters 25,168 Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 I'm a Mac girl and I flip back and forth between the easy to use Pixelmator Pro and Photoshop-like Affinity Photo. I won't try Krita unless they produce an iOS version. I'm quite enjoying working on my iPad using a pencil. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
LittleMe Jewell 36,577 Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 I don't typically do any intense photo editing, so I mostly still use an old version of Picture It! - some old Microsoft program that you can't even get anymore. It handles what I usually need to do - touch up contrast/brightness, cropping, minor tweaks. Every now and then, I'll fire up Gimp or PhotoScape. Link to post Share on other sites

Well, I can recommend Affinity photo too. It has many photoshop features for an affordable price. No license. You own it. And updates are free.

Jordan Whitt 4,924 Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 I only do basic editing - mainly fixing errors, adding brushes, blurs and filters. I mostly use Paint Shop Pro 7, Photoshop and the iPiccy online editor. Link to post Share on other sites
Ultimo Constantineau 148 Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 I like to use photoshop and indesign. Mostly in photoshop then finishing in indesign (mostly for sizing and cropping and I like how the links tab shows what resolution I am working with in real time as I scale and crop a photo). I've been using them a well as other Adobe software since it was Creative Suite so it's what I am more comfortable with. Link to post Share on other sites
Nalates Urriah 5,777 Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 I'm an Adobe apps person. I have used GIMP and Paint.NET (updated 10/2020). I think Paint.NET is closer to PS than GIMP is. Link to post Share on other sites

Yuumo Ichibara 522 Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 This might be an odd answer, but I tweak and enhance my SL photographs with mobile editing apps such as Meitu, Ulike, B612, PicsArt, etc. simply for convenience as I have grown used to them over the years.

WinTrain 42 Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 ipiccy.com for sure, 100% is my favorite. It’s very fast and very easy to turn a average photo into a spectacular photo. Just go there and try it out, it’s real easy. Also the website you can green screen, mask, add texts, and other advanced things and again it’s made easy. Other than that, I like photoshop Link to post Share on other sites

Or has it already. Firefox hasn't Flash implemented either. One has to install it manually. All in all Flash is considered as outdated technology. So I wonder how long ipiccy will exist in the current form. Link to post Share on other sites

I found GIMP to be hard to use, so I gave up on it. For quick edting I use pixlr.com or Luna I'm to cheap to buy PS. Link to post Share on other sites
