  • If you’re a graphic designer or photographer, Photoshop is one of the most powerful photo editors that you can use. Over time it can be quite expensive. Even with Adobe’s most basic plan, it will cost you more than $250 per year to use Photoshop. Thankfully there are free alternatives with many of the same features. In this video, I’ll countdown the 5 best free alternatives to Photoshop that will help you to create and edit your images like a pro.

    Photopea and Krita are the best alternatives to Photoshop. And that's because they take a lot of functionalities and inspiration from Photoshop. I am planning to switch to Linux alternatives so as to escape from Windows. It is a hard and long journey.

    I’m a photoshop professional and I loaded it up this week to find it flickering and lagging like hell. I’m really pissed off. I’ve been a subscriber for many years. I’ve done all the tutorials to fix the problem but to no avail. It’s a dreadful, dreadful program and needs to be put to bed.

    • @kevindermotodoherty5312
      @kevindermotodoherty5312 Місяць тому +3

      Anyway, the only way I was able to fix it was by switching everything off. I have a superfast Computer all solid state. What’s the point if it can’t run the programmes? I don’t think they think these things through very well they really don’t care about the user.
      Especially when you have deadlines to meet you spend most of the day trying to solve their crap that wasn’t there before!

      I always preferred PSP to Photoshop. PS is a lot more complicated to use. Sure, it has great things it can do, but most of it is hard to figure out, and that's IF you know the features even exist.

      @@ooklathemok Well, I still use Windows 7, which in my opinion is the last decent OS Microsoft produced. As a retired IT guy, I saw too many good PCs turned into sluggish piles of crap by Windows 10, and I can't afford to upgrade my hardware, anyway. I do actually also have Photoshop CS6 - once again, not requiring a subscription, because I own it it. I know I'm old, but I'm not stupid, and I refuse to shell out good money for something I can never own.

Of these programs, which is the easiest to use? I don’t really have an interest in making anything too flashy atm but definitely need something better than copy paste google images. Sorry if you answered in the video as I haven’t watched just yet!

      The world is moving towards rental and subscriptions for everything that anyone is selling. Every company is looking to get that easy money with no additional work with a subscription. It's a lot more scary than just what's happening with personal computer usage and software.

      The SaaS model does have the benefit of enabling better quality software. Though I question if the amount they put back into the software vs what's withdrawn as profits and dividends justifies the higher cost. Also SaaS drives more interest toward the development of open source projects.

    • @KuttyJoe
      @KuttyJoe 4 місяці тому

      @@bsmithril The notion that the SaaS model enables better quality software is just speculation. It also ignores what we know about human nature. If payment comes before service, then there is less incentive to deliver quality service. Ironically, I just posted a bug related to Photoshop. And I made a comment that in recent years I spend sooo much time posting about bugs. In the decades I've used Adobe software I was practically never able to find a bug. But now, I find bugs within seconds of installing a new Adobe update. Photoshop, Illustrator, Bridge. There are so many bugs now that I only bother report the ones that are really troubling to my workflows. The ones I can live with, I don't spend time reporting. In the case of Adobe, much poorer quality software coincided with the subscription model and that aligns perfectly with human nature.

    I tried following a couple of GIMP (for Windows) tutorials on how to remove the background from an image….and the results were utter failure. I don’t know if it’s because I should’ve enabled some setting, option or tool beforehand, but the background was never removed no matter the method used….which is further (unneeded) proof of the factual truth **GIMP a Photoshop alternative…my butt.**
