Five Excellent Image Editing Software Programs (Brian Griffin)
Dec 30, 2009
In the twenty-first century, image editing software programs are not an option, but a necessity. You can use them to perfect photo memories of weddings and anniversaries. They can be used to design promotional flyers and pamphlets. Some people just use the software for adding special effects that the camera can't.
1. Adobe Photoshop
The most widely-used image editing software is Adobe Photoshop. Adobe products have a reputation for being professional and top-tier. There's no doubt that Photoshop is the best software available f or editing images. It offers countless features, unknown to other programs.
2. GIMP
An acronym for GNU Image Manipulation Program, GIMP is trailing behind Adobe Photoshop in popularity. It offers just about the same creation templates and editing tools as Photoshop, with minor differences.
3. Fireworks
Fireworks is another image editing software created by Adobe. The reason Fireworks is number three is because it is especially made for web designers. The features are tailored to editing images for web content. So, although Fireworks is amazing in quality, it is not best for everyone.
4. Inkscape
Inkscape is an exceptional program for image editing. However, it offers fewer features, in terms of tools and formats, than those previously listed.
5. Pixelmator
Pixelmator is a program only available for use on Mac computers. It's pretty simple and not difficult to use. So, it's good for beginners or people who edit images only for personal reasons. Pixelmator happens to be number five on this list because it cannot be used on all computers. It also does not go into much detail in terms of editing options.
Everyone should own at least one of the programs listed. You'll need it for tweaking personal portraits or adding flare to a photo of friends. Pick the one that best fits your needs, not the one that is highest ranked. And realize that all of these programs will take a while for their functions to be fully understood.
