]]>Photoshop may be the leader in graphics editing, but it has a price …
]]>Photoshop may be the leader in graphics editing, but it has a price tag to match. With the Creative Cloud service on a monthly payment scheme, it can cost you a minimum of $120 per year, and you don’t even get a permanent license to use Photoshop.
If that’s just too expensive for you, or you want editing software with a perpetual licensing model, there are plenty of alternatives out there. Some are even free. Here are 6 design software alternatives with similar functions and feel to Photoshop.
Affinity Photo is one of the best and most similar Photoshop alternatives available. A one-time $50 fee gets you access to an advanced and affordable program for Mac or Windows, or you can get a cheaper version for your tablet.
The editor comes with support for RAW files, panoramas, vector drawing, and effective retouching tools. Its one downside is the limited plugin selection that leaves it not very extendable. But for a majority of designers, it can take Photoshop’s place pretty well.
You can’t beat free, and open source GIMP is a popular Photoshop competitor. A majority of Photoshop’s tools are available here, and it accepts a wide range of file formats including PSDs.
One of GIMP’s main features is its customizability. There are hundreds of third-party tools ranging from entire plugins to artistic brushes. However, its interface is less streamlined than Photoshop’s, and it’s missing some important tools like non-destructive editing and CMYK support.
But overall, it’s a solid choice for graphic designers if you don’t need certain advanced features.
Sketch is a vector graphics editor and web design tool for macOS, with multiple improvements over Photoshop in areas of UI design. It’s made for website prototyping and comes with grids built in, pixel perfect precision, and smart guide functionality.
The program is focused solely on UI and mockups, and comes with no features like bitmap brushes or photo editing. If you find yourself using Photoshop’s other artistic features frequently, you may want a more general-purpose editor. But UI/UX designers will quickly fall in love with this easy-to-use program.
For a free, entirely in-browser editor, Photopea comes with a surprising array of features. Its clean interface will feel very familiar to Photoshop fans, and you’ll be shocked at how much is packed into it.
That said, if you’re used to advanced or even mid-level Photoshop features, Photopea doesn’t yet hold up in all of these areas. It’s a great emergency editor, and perfect if you only need a basic set of tools. Some designers won’t need anything more, but don’t expect the raw power of a downloadable program from this.
If your design work often involves painting and creating artwork or graphics, Krita would be a great choice. It’s free and open source, and has the power of Photoshop with an interface specialized for artists.
There are over 100 brushes included and ways to download more, a fully customizable interface, vector support, and HDR painting. Krita isn’t suitable for general editing and manipulation, but it’s perfect for illustrators and graphic designers.
Figma is similar to Sketch in that it’s focused around prototyping and UI design, but it comes with its own host of features. The biggest is its support for live multi-user editing with your teammates. It works in the browser and has a free starter plan for up to two designers.
It also comes with vector editing, commenting, prototyping tools, and the ability to export as a PDF or image. If your focus is on collaboration, and you want to design alongside others, Figma is definitely one to consider.
Photoshop is considered a staple of a designer’s toolkit, but it hardly has a monopoly on the industry. There are plenty of other programs out there that have similar functionality to Photoshop and a price tag as low as free.
Just remember that these programs only provide similar functionality to Photoshop. If you use other programs in the Creative Cloud suite, such as Lightroom, Illustrator, Dreamweaver, or InDesign, you’ll need to find alternatives for those as well.

Content Aware Move enables us to mark pixels and drag the selection to some other part of a photograph without using layers or masks.

]]>It’s quite common for web design templates and mockup files to come in the form of Photoshop PSD files. The reason for this is because Photoshop has become the standard in generating templates without any problems.
Unlimited Downloads: 500,000+ Web Templates, Icon Sets, Themes & Design Assets
Starting at only $16.50/month!
The only difficulty is that you have so many free resources for templates online, and many of them aren’t that friendly to work with. Therefore, we want to put together a list of free template and mockup file resources that look beautiful but also make your job easier.
We can’t cover every type of website template, but we’ll hit on the most important ones, such as portfolios, business and eCommerce websites.
The Merkury Business template is a flat, clean design that we feel would work well for businesses of all types. There’s a certain amount of professionalism that comes from the design, with dark blue colors and a nice menu for listing items like pricing, features and contact links. The template could serve a wide range of industries, from tech companies to law firms. It’s also nice to see an area with icons and text for listing out services, features, or products.
The Fusion Portfolio template is a free mockup option for those who want to build a website focused mainly around their portfolio. This could work well for a personal portfolio or an agency, seeing as how it’s a beautiful one-page layout with several elements to explain detailed information about a company. The portfolio is the primary part of the template, but you’ll also notice a module for client logos, along with a spot to talk about the people on your team. There’s even a spot for including a contact form right at the bottom.
Some designers may want to create a full-fledged meeting website, or maybe a client simply needs a one-page design for organizing employee meetings. Regardless of the reason, the Meetup landing page PSD provides a stunning design with multiple settings for adjusting the overall layout. You can display a timer to show how much longer people have to sign up, and there’s also a module for users to sign up with a few form fields. Along with rows for speakers, sponsors, past events and more, the Meetup template is a great place to start for a project like this.
When developing an eCommerce website, it’s essential to have a template that’s broad enough to use for multiple industries, while also being easy to work with. After all, there are lots of elements involved with a standard eCommerce store. The Shopy PSD template provides all of those, with a beautiful white design and areas to generate mock product galleries. Everything from banners to sales are included, and you can even make a mockup shopping cart to show your clients how the site is going to look in real life.
Here’s a portfolio template that’s catered more to the agencies out there. It’s professional, bright and packed with buttons and calls to action to help convince clients to move forward with a purchase. The portfolio is shown as a sleek grid-based gallery, where images can be viewed right from the homepage. There’s also a spot to share information about employees or the people on the agency’s team. Along with a contact form mockup and a testimonials area, the Agency Website PSD looks like a strong contender for those building agency websites.
It’s a good idea to have a multipurpose mockup template in your arsenal, since you can use it for a wide range of projects and clients. The Webby PSD template does the trick, with layouts for tourism, design, exploration and more. The template relies heavily on visuals, so if you’re creating a portfolio, or any type of site with lots of images, this is a good choice.
