Adobe Photoshop is world wide recognized and the first choice of industry professionals. But Photoshop is not available for free So today i am going to list down some other Photoshop alternatives –
1 –Gimp – Gimp is very popular desktop software and freely available. It comes with most of stack like Adobe Photoshop but not as feature rich as Photoshop. Gimp version available on windows and Linux with many learning resources. It supports RAW formats, BMP, GIF, JPEG, PNG, TIFF, PSD, etc.
2 –Paint.net It’s the more feature rich version of Paint that comes with Windows by default. Peoples likes it for friendly editing , cool interface and easier to use than Gimp but don’t have much features.
