Photoshop still tops our pick of the best digital art software and the best photo editing software overall, but the continuous subscription cost understandably puts many people off. The introduction of generative credits for AI features now introduces another potential cost, increasing the number of people searching for alternatives.
Fortunately, there are plenty of Photoshop alternatives, whether you're editing photos, creating graphic design or painting digitally. Krita is one our favourites. It's free and open-source, has a strong community and it continues to add new features (see what's new in Krita 5.3/6.0).
