Duiker101 · Answer

After looking for a new software for graphics to do vector I settled for Gravit. It's free, well featured and very fast! I absolutely fell in love and can't suggest it more. Sketch is also good and has a lot of resources  but it's paid and I'm not a huge fan of subscriptions. GIMP used to be my go to but the UI is starting to show it's age.

*Disclaimer: I work at Figma

If you're using Photoshop for UI design, Figma is a great alternative. It's free, based in the browser so you can use it on any computer, and offers some unique features like collaboration, vector networks, prototyping, and more. :)

Graham Hughes · Answer

Free and works.

Daria Zabój · Answer

You can try Affinity Photo. Still, Lightroom is my favorite tool when it comes to photo editing.

Lorenzo Fiori · Answer

I use GIMP, but of course it depends on what you need to work on!

Savelii Kovalenko · Answer

Sketch is really a gem for the interface design. You can add plugins to make your life easier and there are no excessive features. It also doesn't take a lot of storage on devices and works much faster than PS.

Hannah Zenn · Answer

Probably it's the best option. It has a lot of functions - from brightness/contrast  to fragment correction. You can also combine several pics into one. As for color correction, there's still nothing better than VSCO app:) But it depends on what you want to get, there're many more options

Sam Sabri · Answer

Biased since I help build it. But we're on all major platforms (iOS, Android, Mac, Windows, Chrome and even your web browser!). It's focused 100% on photo editing.

Leonard · Answer

Modern and fast interface, innovative features, great for raw photo editing

Furkan Demirbas · Answer

Especially for macbook, very easy to use, fast and free

Joquim Fernandes · Answer

GIMP is arguably the most popular free software for non-vector digital art and image editing. It is mentioned in many alternative lists as a photoshop alternative, but its development is slow and "gimped" at times. If you are are looking for both a free and open-source editor Krita would a much better option..just my two cents!

betty · Answer

This is my favourite design platform to design everything for marketing (except native drawing). HIGHLY Recommended to EVERYONE!

Vladyslav Kozlovskyy · Answer

I have been using GIMP for years on Linux and OSX and I like it. But I'm not a professional designer and use GIMP for a very limited set of picture manipulations.

Dominik Facher · Answer

For interfaces & visuals: it's as powerful as photoshop but much simpler (and cheaper)

Andy Dobrucki · Answer

I use it all the time for unsophisticated image editing.

Zoe Cheung · Answer

it can be used to edit light and shadow effect in simple way, not as almighty as photoshop. But i think it is enough for our daily use. it also get basic color correction and hsl adjustments.

Naren GS · Answer

I like the application easy and fast, but missing the animation effects that are given in other tools such as invision and sketch.

tarun · Answer

depends on what are you trying to do . Honestly nothing compares to photoshop if you do lot of work with images . Sketch app version 50 or latest is the next best thing . Remember thou its roots are for vector assets & is not as powerful & versatile as photoshop when editing images . Gimp is an another open source alternative but i never personally liked it.
