The most complete version of possibly the best Photoshop alternative
When you set out to look for a program that allows the advanced editing of photos, the first thing that usually springs to mind is Adobe Photoshop. The thing is that it's price, despite being the best program of its nature, can be a hindrance for those users that can't find everything they're looking for in the free Express version since it's ever so basic.
And that's when doubts arise when it comes to searching for Photoshop alternatives. Among the most popular ones we definitely have to point out GIMP, mainly due to its open-source nature, but there's life beyond the concept of everything for free. And that includes PhotoScape X Pro, the free version 3.7 of which you've probably heard about, and that for an affordable price for any professional (this could well be your work tool) can be download for Windows 10 as well as Mac.
Photo editing at anyone's reach
We're definitely not talking about the easiest-to-use photo editing tool out there, but in its favor, we have to say that it's not the hardest neither. Its interface offers us a design that provides us with shortcuts to all its functions, and if you know anything about picture editing you'll find it easy peasy, without needing tutorials, guides or anything similar.
