Adobe Photoshop is the professional image editor. It’s name is now a verb for image editing (which is something that Adobe absolutely hates). Photoshop though, isn’t the only editor in town. Over the last few years, new image editing apps have come along that are almost as good as Photoshop, for a fraction of the price. Let’s have a look at some of them.

GIMP is their suggestion (free, open source and also works with Linux), I've used Adobe Elements in the past (much cheaper and easier to use than Adobe Photoshop) , Irfanview (free for non-commerical use) , and when not saving for the web, I use Snagit.
