Acorn: A Great Photoshop Alternative
For years Photoshop has been the king of photo editing apps. Its professional feature set has the notorious reputation of being complex and hard to navigate. Often these pro features are more than the average user needs and licensing costs a small fortune. It’s difficult to find an alternative that has a range of features without breaking the bank or causing frustration. Acorn is a Photoshop alternative that claims to be designed “for humans”. With a significantly smaller price tag and a large variety of features, Acorn will turn you into a photo editing pro with an easy to handle price!
With the new version, Acorn 4, that was released in 2013, comes a host of new, and even more powerful looks. Acorn 4 allows users to customize and blend both filters and layers while simultaneously giving them the option to lock and finish editing later. With both a curves window and level slider integrated right into toolbar along the side, you can adjust the finer details quickly and easily. If you really get stuck and don’t know how to do a specific command or what the purpose behind a certain tool is, Acorn wants to help you out. With forums, tutorials, and documentation built right into the application, you’ll find the answer in no time. Tools like the eraser brush and “Instant Alpha” make it easy and fun to remove and smudge unwanted areas of your image. The text, drawing, and vector shape options help you add content and a creative angle to your photos. Acorn even allows users to save images as a layered Photoshop file and export it to the web for easy compression.
