Poisted by : WebGuru Under : Photo Editing Services, Web Design, Website Design 3 CommentsAdobe Photoshop, the flagship product from the house of Adobe, has never fallen out of the favor of the designers since it comes bundled with a host of features that give enough opportunity to designers to wield their creative prowess in their individual canvas i.e. website design project. But there is a small problem with Adobe Photoshop. It does come at a price that is high enough to create a hole in your pocket. But its irresistible features and its awe-inspiring interface have kept the designers thrilled. But if you are not in a position to shell out this huge amount of money, here is some good news. There are some cool alternatives of Photo Shop are available. Obviously, they do not offer the same features, but still they are powerful enough to take a note. Lets check out some of them:

Krita: – This is an Academy Award Winning application that strongly believes in uncomplicating things. It has always been lauded for its ease of use and its simple interface that make it popular among less tech-savvy people. However, there is no denying of the fact that Krita is less powerful than GIMP and Photoshop, still it contains some innovative features.
