Maybe some of you have some tips? If yes, feel free to share. So to tell the truth, I could not find a free alternative to Photoshop that I could suggest. But I think you should give it a try :) Photoshop alternative?

For me the problem here is that it’s mac only, so I have no way to try it out. It’s called Affinity photo, and it looks very modern and capable. There is also a new alternative, that is currently in beta. Even just the support from third party plug-ins is worth the investments. But if you want to edit photos every day, I would still go with Photoshop. You can use layers, you can do basic blending, you can do image edits. Maybe I just missed something, but the UI just didn’t fit my style.īut if I should suggest you a free Photoshop alternative, this is still the best one you can get. It is just so far away from my workflow, that I can’t use it. First I could not find the RGB channel, so I could only work on R, G or B and then the intersection of selection worked strangely, so I could not create more specific selection.Īnd there where my experiments with Gimp stopped. While trying to do luminance masking I was not so successful. The layers work fine, so the basic blending is possible. On a Linux system, if the Fontconfig utility is set up as usual, all you need to do to add a new font is to place the file in the directory /.fonts. See FREETYPE 2 FREETYPE for more information. Thats already a deal breaker for me, but I thought I try and blend an image. You can also add modules to support other types of font files. The first big problem was that Gimp does not support 16-bit files (I found an announcement from 2012 that this should be implemented, but not in the current version). I actually tried Gimp some 10 years ago, and first look at the latest version, it looked exactly as before. So I switched to the normal Gimp, at least there I got only what I wanted. Sorry, that’s not what I want to have on my PC.

My experiment ended already by the installer, when it tried to install some strange additional software onto my system and the installation dialog didn’t even had any cancel button. First I went for the Gimpshop, as that would probably be easier. There are two alternative there, the Gimp and Gimpshop, which is a version that tries to emulate Photoshop more, with more Photoshop like interface. Over and over again I seen Gimp to be suggested as the best alternative. I’m not a big fan of online editors that work in a browser, as the stability of browsers is horrible as it is, and I don’t trust them with my work. For me a Photoshop alternative would have to be a local program that works solidly with layers. I don’t think RT can do that, but you can save from the Nik menu.

I’ve been using Photoshop for the last 15 years, and I never thought about looking for something else. Analog Efex Pro 2, C:\Program Files\Google\Nik Collection\Analog Efex Pro 2\Analog Efex Pro 2 (64-Bit)\Analog Efex Pro 2.exe, png, '','','' The only thing is that Gimp is able to re-load the image once it is processed by Nik. This is quite an interesting question, and to tell the truth, I knew about none that was really suitable. A question if I knew about any free Photoshop alternative. Today’s post is about a question I got few days ago.

I know you all want a post about the blue/black dress (or white/gold?) today, but no, not from me :)
