Thrifty Thursday
Many of us are familiar with Adobe Photoshop and all the cool stuff you can do with it and the price tag that comes along with it, every month. To help the ease the money burden of buying an image editing software here are a few apps that you can get when starting out and trying to save a little money.
***This is not a sponsored blog these are just some of the products that I personally use. You can always explore and find other options.***
Here are some features to look for when selecting your image editing software.
export formats - What types of formats can you save your file in (ex. jpeg, png, gif…)
layers - can you work in layers to work nondestructively
platforms - what platforms does it work on (ios, microsoft, linux)
learning curve - how difficult will it be to learn
support - does it offer any user support if you have questions or if there are any issues
Below is a list of the image editing apps I have either used or was recommended by a friend. Feel free to try them out or find an app on your own, just make sure to really review the apps features.
The list is alphabetical order only:
