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.

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"]

We should stop our kids from playing Street Fighter V! If you're just about my age, then you're also blessed with the opportunity to witness the evolution of Street Fighter from day 1 in 1987.

What happened to this clone Ryu character dressed in red? Let's watch the video before we continue: What do you think? Looking good, right?

What Is Pinch Harmonic and How You Do It?

I have two answers to What is Pinch Harmonic and How You Do It? Short Answer: Pinch harmonic is a sound produced by forcing the amplitude of the actual notes to be narrower, and that makes the frequency higher. Hence, the higher notes (usually major 3rd, and 5th, and an octave higher). Harmonic itself can be produced by slightly touching a string and plucking it on top of the fret (not the bar). Because even when making a note on the guitar, the fret is actually what determines the pitch of the note, not the wood part we're pressing on. Longer Answer: Slight history Of Pinch Harmonic: In classical (nylon) guitar playing, the guitarist plucks the string right on the fret and lightly touch the string to block the string's movement. The gesture is the same as a pinching finger. Hence, the name pinch harmonic is created. In Modern Rock Era: In a more modern era, this trick becomes even more popular. Thank's to George Lynch and Eddie Van Halen who with their unique playing and k...
