5 Best Free Photo Editors: 1. GIMP Available for: Windows, Mac, Linux Download: Complete overview and tutorial: (I completely recommend taking this tutorial series. It’s one of the most useful ones I’ve taken, and constantly come back to it when I use GIMP.) GIMP is one the most well known photo editors out there. I’ll even say it’s the best free photo editor. It’s simple to use and includes most of Photoshop’s features. Missing something? GIMP also has great support for plugins.

Here is a of some the best plugins. I did find GIMP to be a little more rough around than edges than Photoshop. Missing were the advanced layer styles that I used so often in Photoshop. Still, this software has some powerful tools that any non-professional will be happy with. Pixlr Available for: Windows, Mac, Mobile (Android and iOS) Download:; Complete overview and tutorial: If you’re already familiar with photoshop, Pixlr will be a quick and easy platform to use.

The layouts of the two programs are almost identical (I see Pixlr as a watered-down version of Photoshop). Pixlr is online, so no need for a download.

It is also available as an app on Android and iOS, making it a superb photo editor on the go. Your images can be saved in Pixlr’s own format, which allows easy transfer/editing between mobile and desktop. Pixlr does not offer as many export formats (jpeg, png, tiff, and bmp) as one may hope from a photo editor, but it’ll do the job. Paint.NET Available for: Windows Download: Used to the old school editor that comes with all Windows operating systems? Paint.NET will feel familiar to you. However, this packs in a lot more features. Layers, ‘special effects’, and unlimited history makes this free editor a great beginner program.

Song Recognition Software For Pc Free Download. I’ve also found this to be very quick, even on older systems. It is missing some more of the advanced tools, but still allows for simple editing.

And sorry Mac users, Paint.NET is only available for Windows. It’s almost unfair to compare Photoscape with the rest I see it as a great tool with a slightly different purpose.

With very good basic (and easy-to-use/find) tools, I start there with all my photos – hit an autoadjust once (sometimes, I change their settings, but not usually) then backlight once for most photos. I also use the arbitrary rotate tool – which can rotate your photo that half degree that you notice, but many free programs only allow you to rotate by 90 degrees, which is unsatisfying.

AFTER I’m done with Photoscape, I then like to use a different, more artistic program to do more detailed or artistic renders of the image. Though if you want lettering or a frame, it’s easiest to go back to Photoscape again. Okay, so it’s a little clunky to go back and forth between programs, but Photoscape is so good at what it does, that it’s worth the extra hassle to swap around. I’ve been using this program for many years now and *always* recommend it to people. A Little About Me TheHighTechHobbyist Hi there!
