Not so very long ago, Photoshop was the must-have photo editor for any ‘serious’ photographer, and it's still one of the best photo-editing software applications on the market. It’s even spawned a verb, ‘to Photoshop’, and every photo-editing beginner still wants to know how other programs compare to Photoshop, or where to get the best Photoshop alternatives.
But a lot has changed in the photo-editing market, and not just the software, but the needs of photographers, too. Any photographer who uses Adobe Lightroom (either Classic or CC) will probably feel it does practically everything they used to need Photoshop for, and does it faster and more easily, with seamless integration with their ever-growing image catalog.
