Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted November 19, 2020 Root Admin Share Posted November 19, 2020 I'm looking for an application for editing images. I need to edit in layers as well as simple lighting and tint adjustments. I'm not necessarily looking for free... just something other than Photoshop. Any suggestions?

Flysmallie Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 Gimp is good and it's free. but it's probably not any easier than Photoshop. After 10 years of working in Photoshop and Lightroom I don't see anything out there any easier. Photoshop Elements is easier but I don't know if it has all the features you need. I hear good things about PaintShop Pro and ACDSee Ultimate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted November 19, 2020 Author Root Admin Share Posted November 19, 2020 I've used PS for 10+ years but only use 2% of it's tools. I can't see paying $20/month for it when I don't use most of it. I bought a new computer for video editing and need to add the image editing product. That's why I'm looking. I'll look into these other products - thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ness Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 I'm a big Lightroom fan. I only use it for basic adjustments since I get it right in the camera 99.9% of the time . It also has great hierarchical keywording to help keep things in order and easy to find. They added face recognition recently too. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has almost all the functionality of PS. -- JimIf people concentrated on the really important things in life, there'd be a shortage of fishing poles. -- Doug Larson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You get use of desktop apps as well as IOS versions. You just can't beat that deal. Phil Lilley 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moguy1973 Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 You'll have to export it as a JPG or whatever format you want to use. -- JimIf people concentrated on the really important things in life, there'd be a shortage of fishing poles. -- Doug Larson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Save As" will only save it as a native Gimp file. Look for the Export option and you should be able to choose whatever file type you need.
