I use StudioLine besides Photoshop.
StudioLine is not so much complicated. Thanks to its copy tool, which is awesome by the way – StudioLine is great to use for image editing, when I have to work with more images at the same time. sounds crazy? try it.

…fireworks? never used it. psd/dw or studioline.

cheers

Photoshop is only the best because it has the most addons and they only work with Photoshop.

I link Paintshop pro best beacuse its easier than Photoshop and they have the same stuff but Photoshop has more brushes and addons but thats after install.

I am using StudioLine for archiving my images. I like to describe my images in the EXIF and IPTC sections. I can easily optimize all pictures with the non destructive image filters. With the very useful and inovative copy tool I can drag filter settings or descriptions from one image to an other – this saves a lot of time!

Any image gurus care to comment on a suitable image editing software to remove ‘istockphoto text’ from image shown below:

Pixelmator still has some issues but is coming along nicely. It deserves to be in the Top 10.

People will vote based on what they use, I believe the majority of the market still uses PhotoShop. Although there is very little that I could not do with PaintShop Pro (which is curiously mentioning from the list).

For Windows users on a budget, PaintShop Pro will let you do everything PhotoShop will do at a fraction of the price.

Both PhotoShop and PaintShop Pro are for Windows users primarily. (Yes I know Mac users like PhotoShop also)

For me, once I started using GIMP, I was surprised how much it will do. As with Paintshop Pro, GIMP will do everything that PhotoShop will do and more. Granted there is a Windows version of GIMP, but it is primarily intended for Linux users.

The best thing about the MacIntosh and Linux, is the operating system does not use up tons of memory and CPU processing power (can you say system bloat is Windows) like Windows. Therefore there are more system resources (memory and CPU processing power) available for the application.

Thus the applications on Linux and Mac OS X!

When you work, you want your apps to work for you, not against you because of the operating system!

GIMP is excellent!

As to those that do not want to learn a different set of menus, then move to an operating system (anything but Microsoft OS) where your data formats will be used correctly and the operating system GUI will not change from one release of the OS to another. The learning different ways to do something argument is not genuine as you did that from 95/98 to 2000; 2000 to XP; from XP to Vista; from Vista to Win 7 and you will do that in the future.

A bigger concern should a vendor like Adobe, requiring one and only one OS, a Microsoft OS. And Microsoft auto updates trashing your system with bloat! You can not reformat and start from scratch any more and because of that, that operating system FAILS!

“Inkscape is an open source vector graphics editor” – NOT Image Editing Software
Just for the record :)

When you can afford photoshop, its the best option but in case of free versions, GIMP is the best… even latest versions can also be compared with Photoshop, anyways good collection and well written article
