I replaced Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign with three free apps, and only one felt like a downgrade
My Adobe replacement stack costs $0 but does all the same things
Photon Studio is a free desktop image editor that offers PSD support, making it a viable Photoshop alternative. The software operates entirely on the user's device, handling tasks such as subject selection and background removal without requiring an internet connection or uploading images to a remote service. Despite being free, Photon Studio provides a comprehensive suite of features, including layers, masks, adjustment layers, smart objects, effects, and retouching tools.
Users can work with editable text, vector shapes, and Pen paths, as well as paint with brushes and customize colors and gradients. The software includes familiar Photoshop shortcuts and searchable commands for easy navigation. While Photon Studio cannot match Photoshop in terms of advanced features and integrations, it still offers a robust set of tools for everyday editing tasks.
