A while back, when I used my now-old iMac much more, I was much more accustomed to using Photoshop than I am now. In fact, I don't remember ever having GIMP installed, and I did my small edits, like what you see above, in Adobe's software. It wasn't until later, when I started using Linux more often, that I decided to use GNU Image Manipulation Program, and although I'm getting used to it and liking it more every day, some things require a lot of steps. That's why I can't help but keep an eye on Photopea.
But what is Photopea, and what does it have to do with Photoshop? It's an online image editor that's like a clone of Adobe's . Many of the tools, such as removing unwanted objects or adding bevel and emboss, are available, and you can use it on any device with a web browser. It's true that it doesn't work as well on tablets and mobile phones, but it's not impossible.
Photopea allows you to do 30 steps for free
The best thing about Photopea for Photoshop users is that everything looks the same ; the menus are all in the same place, and the keyboard shortcuts are identical. Furthermore, it's a big plus that it's not a new service; its developer started it eight years ago, and it's still available, so it's not a fleeting fad. Ivan Kuckir has made a considerable amount of money with his idea, so it's only logical that he'll continue its development and add improvements over time.
Photopea is free , as long as you don't need to perform more than 30 steps. You should keep an eye on the history to avoid losing your work, but you can always export to PSD, open the file, and perform another 30 steps. A subscription allows up to 60 steps and access to all features, with prices ranging from $9/month for one user to $400/year for a team of 20.
Although it's been around for a while , we wanted to share this great tool here at Linux Addicts. For example, GIMP has Resynthesizer for removing unwanted objects, but it's written in Python 2 and doesn't work very well in the latest versions of the editor unless you install the Flatpak version . Photopea, on the other hand, will be sufficient for most users, so it's worth knowing about it and saving it to your favorites.
