Simple comparison of apps relate to this subject:

Tool | Normal User | Advanced User |
---|---|---|
Photo (raster) | Affinity Photo, Paint.net, GIMP | Adobe Photoshop |
Logo (vector) | Affinity Design | Adobe Illustrator |
Video Editing | iMovie, Cyberlink Powerdirector | Final Cut Pro, Davinci Resolve, Adobe Premiere |
Audio Editing | GarageBand, Audacity | Logic Pro, Reaper, Adobe Audition |
Have you ever used any of those? What are your preferred ones?
I use audacity for editing audio and although I have used photoshop I prefer open source wherever. I use paint.net for creating my comic strip and for colouring in drawings. I’ve used it for many many years.
I still have ancient Microsoft photo editing software that still does the business pretty well.
Thank you Sue for reminding me of pain.net. I’ve just added it to the list; I used it a lot when I was on Windows’. Talking about about open source, GIMP is very strong app but I hate its complications sometimes.
I remember trying it but I think I found it tricky to navigate and gave up early on.
