On a high level, Lightroom is the best tool to manage and process the thousands of photos that live on your devices. Photoshop specialises in greater control to achieve more expansive edits that will help you to make a few images look flawless.

You can try the latest release of Premiere Pro for free – including all the newest features and updates – with a seven-day trial for PC, Mac and iPad. There’s no obligation to buy, but it’s easy to convert to a paid Creative Cloud membership during or after the trial.

The GIMP is great for the price and is certainly usable on a professional level for screen graphics. It’s not equipped to handle professional print color spaces or file formats, however. For that, you’ll still need PhotoShop.

GIMP is free to use. Although only saving around $10 a month compared to Adobe subscriptions, GIMP gives you a chance to try out editing without commitment. This way, you can decide if you are willing to purchase software like Adobe.

Is Lightroom good for beginners? It’s perfect for all levels of photography, starting with beginners. Lightroom is especially essential if you shoot in RAW, a far better file format to use than JPEG, as more detail is captured. You need some sort of processing software to view RAW photos.

GIMP is the most powerful free photo editor that can completely replace Photoshop. It has an open source code. You can change the program yourself, fix various bugs and errors that you noticed, as well as add your own tools.

GIMP (the GNU Image Manipulation Program) is the best free photo editor around. It’s packed with the kind of image-enhancing tools you’d find in premium software, and more are being added every day.

Adobe Photoshop Elements 2019 is the best easy photo editing software for beginners, designed to facilitate photo editing and create even small video projects.
