Seashore: Photoshop Alternative:


Need a general editing app but don't want to pay a whopping $700 for Photoshop, a lot of people looking for a general photo editing application might want something a bit more modest. There's Pixelmator, which is well worth a try at $29. Seashore a free photo editing apps might be the answer, especially for those on a tight budget.

This open source image editor is based off GIMP, but runs in a clean and simple interface with enough features to keep modest users happy. Seashore handles layers, alpha channels, and has a decent tool set.  Within the Menubar are a number of effects and image editing controls to play with including basics such as contrast and hue sliders.  These sliders fade after each adjustment, which is a convenient feature to see the effects of your changes. It's worth a look.
