Title: Photo editor for Mac
Post by: vivalarevolución on Wed, 22 October 2014, 09:54:33

I want a photo editor for my Mac.  Suggestions beyond Photoshop are appreciated.  I have no clue what else is out there.  Any suggestions?

Pixelmator. I demoed it a few years ago and it was pretty decent for basic stuff. I didn't use it prolifically at all, but tinkering with it, it seemed fairly similar to Photoshop. And it's only $30.

Pixelmator and Acorn are solid choices that won't cost an arm and a leg.

GIMP?

It's kinda native now.

I use lightroom for my stuff.  Admittedly, I'm fairly hands off with post processing, though.

GIMP is really decent right now.

If you want free and online, Pixlr is quite nice.  The download version is really basic and meh, but the online editor is nice.

I can't praise it enough..
Pixelmator for OSX: $30ish https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/pixelmator/id407963104?mt=12&uo=4&at=10lb3t (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/pixelmator/id407963104?mt=12&uo=4&at=10lb3t)

and then Pixelmator for iPad: $5 ish https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/pixelmator/id924695435?mt=8&uo=4&at=10lb3t (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/pixelmator/id924695435?mt=8&uo=4&at=10lb3t)


I have both, and haven't bothered to buy a sub to creative cloud because of it.

If you are looking for Vector work, check out: Affinity Designer, $50, It's better than anything similar I have ever tried: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/affinity-designer/id824171161?mt=12&uo=4&at=10lb3t (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/affinity-designer/id824171161?mt=12&uo=4&at=10lb3t)


One of the things I like about all three of these, its that they aren't bloated like Photoshop, illustrator ect.
