Free Photoshop Alternatives Feb 2018 Edition

Free Photoshop Alternatives: Photoshop is by far the most powerful and famous image editor, even to those who never actually use it. It has become a verb among people...

Just Photoshop it!

Sounds familiar?

But, not everyone has the luxury of using Photoshop. These are some of the reason among others:

  1. High Price
  2. Hardware specification
  3. Currently away from the computer (with the Photoshop installed)


Fotor Photo Editor

Fotor is a free web application powered by HTML 5, it offers basic photo adjustment and most surprisingly, a great one-click HDR feature. Check the video below:


No installation needed, you just have to go to its website, or by installing the Web Apps here.

Pixlr

Pixlr took the function offered by Fotor even deeper. It can do layering task as well as blending mode, just like in Photoshop. Like Fotor, Pixlr needs no installation. All you need is the internet connection.

Get Pixlr here.

GIMP

Unlike both samples above, GIMP runs natively on your computer. It supports all operating system. Like Pixlr, it can deal with layers, blending mode and transparency. By far, GIMP is the closest to Photoshop in this list.

Polarr

I can't believe that this is a freeware. With a very nice GUI and user-friendly user interface, it offers even wider adjustment option than the others. If you need a quick editor, then this is your tool. If you want to spend hours polishing your photos, Polarr will also come in handy. Have I mentioned that it's available offline too?


Get Polarr here.

So, that was what on my list of free Photoshop alternatives. I will keep adding the list, so... be sure that you have followed this web by clicking the red bell button.

What Pixar Animation Taught Us Part 1

What Pixar Animation Taught Us Part 1 Even though some of the people still think that cartoon is just for kids, deep down, we also know that most cartoon or animation has other intention than just merely entertain us. And I realized that after watching most Pixar animations. Both the full lengths movies and the short clips. Most of Pixar animation send us good moral of the story in beautiful packages.

Both have the similar character, very persistent. Mr. Fredrickson dreams of taking his home up to the top of the waterfalls. While Russel's a lot simpler, getting his boy scout badge.

Mate Translate - Translator - Dictionary

I just found a new extension for my Chrome, named Mate Translate - Translator - Dictionary. As the name implies, Mate Translate serves as a translator that he can still translate more than 130 languages. Remarkable right? Imagine if this extension already exists. Can the translators at the UN lose their jobs? It could not have been a battle for years now. Who knows, actually, the cause of the war is just a misunderstanding, right? Get your own Mate Translate here. What Differs Mate Translate from other? Mate Translate stays on your Chrome extension bar. That way, you don't even have to switch tab back and fro from another web translator page and your page. Vice versa. [gallery ids="7313,7312" type="rectangular"]

Google AMP on Gmail. Good or Bad?

undefined Google will enliven the trend of "story" that previously we know through the status WhatsApp, Instagram, Snapchat and even Facebook. But, unlike its predecessors, Google also integrates this story system through what they call the AMP. The name AMP is familiar to web makers, explained better by its long Accelerated Mobile Page, AMP is used as a substitute for the landing page of a web (and other) multiple levels before the visitor actually opens the real website. The Facebook users might experience this whenever they open a link to a website on Facebook and view the website without leaving Facebook. Facebook uses the term, “Facebook Instant Articles”. That’s great for productivity, for people who are just too busy to open several websites to find what they really need. Gmail Integration Google will use AMP into GMail for better user experience. For example, news addicts can read the Newspaper they subscribed to without having to leave their email, interact with the
