Have you heard of GIMP?

If that isn’t what you need; this site may help you: https://alternativeto.net/software/adobe-photoshop/

Yea I’ve tried it but I struggled with its UI and it just wasn’t what I was looking for

If you struggled with the UI because you're familiar with Photoshop, you may want to have a look at PhotoGIMP.

Otherwise Photopea.com is a free online photoshop clone.

I could never get photogimp to work. Like literally it would appear to install OK but just nothing would happen, Couldn't figure it out.

Also holy crap Photopea is actually impressive I did not expect it to be that advanced. Thanks for sharing.

What are you looking for? If you are into painting, Krita might be worth a try.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 7 months ago (2 children)

I use Krita it’s a favorite of mine but I’m looking for photo editing more than anything

[–] [email protected] 9 points 7 months ago

Well, for photo editing try Raw Therapee or Darktable!

I use Krita for infrequent no-stakes photo editing (and even pixel art at one point), might not be for everyone but there's a lot of overlap. Also you can use G'MIC with Krita, so that might help.

I used to use GIMP, but I prefer Krita now.

alternativeto.net Is a good place to look for software alternatives.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

I was looking there this morning they’ve given me plenty of software I use but sadly not the photoshop alternate I’ve been looking for

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Right but Photoshop has a horrible UI too. So maybe if you want similar features, you have to pay the price in time spent learning it.

Of course if you don't need the features, great. Update your post with what you actually want to do.

Nothing I wrote was condescending or shamed the person for asking what they asked. Unfortunately, people like you live in technical forums all across the internet. You make a snap judgment that an on-topic focused response is an attack when it's not, and you decide to play the white knight. Meh.

Take care, my friend.
