Patricia Tietgens, its spokesperson, says that Fotor appeals to people and companies that do not necessarily make money directly from their images but need a solid editor. Yet if you have been browsing the desktop app stores recently you cannot help but notice a proliferation of newer, more nimble and niche photo manipulation software titles that sell for less than a single month of an Adobe subscription fee.įotor is free and is claimed to be one of the most downloaded photographic apps globally, offering quick and easy scenes and adjustments. There are also well-established alternatives, such as Corel's Paintshop Pro and the open source GIMP software, which are also filled with features. It still comes in a box and does some of the tricks that Photoshop is well known for, but at a fraction of the price. For freelances or small and medium-sized businesses, switching photo editing software could save a lot of moneyĪdobe has moved many of its other legendary software titles to a subscription-based service too, but has left Lightroom, another of its popular photographic tools, alone for now.
