I haven't used any of these heavily, but they come up often. Over the past few years I've heard a lot of good things about Krita[1] as an alternative to Gimp. I've found both Pixelmator[2] and Acorn[3] to have enough of the features to replace Photoshop for basic needs.

- SyneRyder 10y agoAdd Affinity Photo to that mix too. It won Apple's Best App Of 2015 award, and is made by Serif (who have a long history of developing photo software, especially on Windows). I have Photoshop CC too, but I use Affinity Photo more often now due to its speed. And as a Photoshop plugin developer, I'm really happy with its strong support for Photoshop plugins - it actually seems more compatible than some versions of Adobe Photoshop Elements. https://affinity.serif.com/en-gb/photo/ https://affinity.serif.com/en-gb/photo/
