honorable mentions: Photoline, Xara photo and graphic designer, and just for laughs Picasa. After Google made Picasa into graveware it improved. No more intrusive photo syncing.
Photopea and Krita are the best alternatives to Photoshop. And that's because they take a lot of functionalities and inspiration from Photoshop. I am planning to switch to Linux alternatives so as to escape from Windows. It is a hard and long journey.
I’m a photoshop professional and I loaded it up this week to find it flickering and lagging like hell. I’m really pissed off. I’ve been a subscriber for many years. I’ve done all the tutorials to fix the problem but to no avail. It’s a dreadful, dreadful program and needs to be put to bed.
Anyway, the only way I was able to fix it was by switching everything off. I have a superfast Computer all solid state. What’s the point if it can’t run the programmes? I don’t think they think these things through very well they really don’t care about the user. Especially when you have deadlines to meet you spend most of the day trying to solve their crap that wasn’t there before!
Krita is ugly and you need to learn it almost from scratch if you have set workflows on Photoshop's interface, but, seriously, once you learn it and run it with the Diffusion addon, there's no good reason to return to Photoshop.
For quick fast edit eg receipts or basic JPEGS it’s Photoscape X - just works For elaborate editing Luminar Neo Photoshop and lightroom binned - cud never get the colour settings right in Adobe
Very useful video. Looks like for me I’d either go with Gimp, or Affinity 2. Thing is just as much as I don’t want subscription based software, much preferring a once only payment for a piece of software. I also don’t consider web based software an advantage. Therefore, I wouldn’t even consider photopea.
@@occamsrayzor that makes 2 of us haha. such a great program and still works under windows 10. only downside is the newer formats but thats when i see what Brettintech has to offer for free up to date alternatives.
I always preferred PSP to Photoshop. PS is a lot more complicated to use. Sure, it has great things it can do, but most of it is hard to figure out, and that's IF you know the features even exist.
@@ooklathemok Well, I still use Windows 7, which in my opinion is the last decent OS Microsoft produced. As a retired IT guy, I saw too many good PCs turned into sluggish piles of crap by Windows 10, and I can't afford to upgrade my hardware, anyway. I do actually also have Photoshop CS6 - once again, not requiring a subscription, because I own it it. I know I'm old, but I'm not stupid, and I refuse to shell out good money for something I can never own.
Photoshop is a unique beast in this world. One of a kind and there is nothing like it. There are many programs that can do some of what it does though.
Just found this video and will have to watch again soon but I’m just making some Yugioh videos for fun on my channel and looking for free software to make thumbnails. Of these programs, which is the easiest to use? I don’t really have an interest in making anything too flashy atm but definitely need something better than copy paste google images. Sorry if you answered in the video as I haven’t watched just yet!
The world is moving towards rental and subscriptions for everything that anyone is selling. Every company is looking to get that easy money with no additional work with a subscription. It's a lot more scary than just what's happening with personal computer usage and software.
The SaaS model does have the benefit of enabling better quality software. Though I question if the amount they put back into the software vs what's withdrawn as profits and dividends justifies the higher cost. Also SaaS drives more interest toward the development of open source projects.
@@bsmithril The notion that the SaaS model enables better quality software is just speculation. It also ignores what we know about human nature. If payment comes before service, then there is less incentive to deliver quality service. Ironically, I just posted a bug related to Photoshop. And I made a comment that in recent years I spend sooo much time posting about bugs. In the decades I've used Adobe software I was practically never able to find a bug. But now, I find bugs within seconds of installing a new Adobe update. Photoshop, Illustrator, Bridge. There are so many bugs now that I only bother report the ones that are really troubling to my workflows. The ones I can live with, I don't spend time reporting. In the case of Adobe, much poorer quality software coincided with the subscription model and that aligns perfectly with human nature.
I have never like Photoshop at all. It is horribly clumbsy and awkward to use. I use Irfanview, almost exclusiveley, with a touch of enhancement by Gimp. There is much missing, but, we always have to wait for programmers to catch-up to the rest of us.
imagine dealing with all the crashes of Photoshop and then they hit you with a monthly subscription fees increasing every year.. oh yeah, I forgot it's ADOPE.. damn it.

What free software or web app do you use to edit your images? Thanks for watching :)
I use a combination of photoscapex, gimp, irfanview, and paint 3D. depends on what I'm doing.
I use GIMP and Paint.
GIMP ftw 😊

I use snapseed and GIMP. Android phone and Linux Computer. I have a Canon M6II camera and a Motorola One 5g UW phone with a decent camera on it.

does the photo quality retain?
@@thadd1photopea quality is shit
Have you tried adding Diffusion to Krita? You need a GPU, but, man, no going back to Photoshop for sure!
Yup it's time to put Photoshop in the bin. Did enjoy the fact an Adobe ad played half way through the video.
lmao i got one at the beginning of
i got an adobe before the video lmao

I like Corel's Paint Shop Pro.
yeh gimp rocks, the interface isn´t randomly scattered accros the screen like the early versions.
Thanks for looking out for us poor folks.
🤣
Well done - I’m a GIMP fan and always will be.
Agreed. Gimp comes closest to Photoshop in feel and ease, and I have yet to find anything that I could do in PS that I can't do in GIMP

@@bhabhutiji1169I just create a new adobe firefly account every time I do that💀
I don't get why, even simple cropping and moving parts of an image is 5 times harder than in other programs for no reason.
@@Damglador Which are you talking about that is 5times harder ?
Very useful video. Looks like for me I’d either go with Gimp, or Affinity 2.

Does anyone remember the Amiga's Deluxe Paint? Those were the days... nice and simple.
Darktable and Rawtherapee would be in the list
I think its more like Adobe Lightroom
Used to have a lot of fun painting MSFS aircraft with GIMP. Awesome software 🙂
Quick question. Should I put the word Photoshop on a resume even though I use one of this alternatives? And great video thanks for sharing!
Bugger photoshop. I'm still using Paintshop pro 7
Me too!

Who is better?
Pixlr or Krita

What is the best alternative to Photoshop while you are a graphic designer as a freelancer
What about IbisPaint?
Rentware will end personal computer usage.

GIMP is the best of all

Photoshop is buggy, expensive and out of touch with today’s world. Time to switch and Gimp plus Photopea seem to be ideal
Brett, Photoscape X crashes every time I load a folder with large number of Photos. But works for few photos. Not useful for me though.
Adobe Photoshop is loaded with nag screens and bloatware it's insanely overpriced.
I wish it wasn’t, but o can’t think of anything that works like I want photoshop to work, and it just works.
Any suggestions for a good product replacement?
PhotoFiltre 6.5.3
I've used Photopea b4 and was able to change the color of my text but now it's only available in Black ? HELP
imagine dealing with all the crashes of Photoshop and then they hit you with a monthly subscription fees increasing every year.. oh yeah, I forgot it's ADOPE.. damn it.
as some1 who used photoshop for long time, Gimp is way to damn complicated!!! cant even find out simple tools!!! bruh
I think i wanted to make somewhat of a collage in Gimp once... nearly lost my mind. Still recovering from that incident...
SO WRONG! I have the adobe photographer package (PS, Lightroom and Bridge) for 11/month, so $120/year.
