Free Photo Editing Software Options to Consider
I currently have a monthly subscription to Photoshop. I have had it for over a year now as I was still doing some freelance web work in the past.
Now I find that the only thing I use Photoshop for now is resizing images for my blog content. I feel like there isn't much of a need to continue paying for the subscription just for resizing images.
That being said, I began looking into some free photo editing software options and found two that can get the job done.
The first is Pixlr which can be found here:
It is web based which is nice. The interface is very similar to Photoshop and works well.
The second option is Gimp found here:
Gimp is also similar to Photoshop. It has to be downloaded and works on both Mac and Windows.
I think if you're like me and only need photo editing software to resize images and to create the occasional graphic, either of these free alternatives will do.
Which photo editing software do you currently use?

Hi Phil,
I am still getting used to using Gimp. When I'm doing quick image resizing, I'll use Pixlr. I'll likely stick with Gimp after my Photoshop subscription ends. Thanks for your feedback!
