7 reasons Photopea is the best free alternative to Photoshop and Lightroom, and 1 why not

A laptop screen showing editing type software with various icons. On the canvas is shown the XDA title with a red coloured brick background.
Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom have long been the benchmarks in the industry. However, their ongoing subscription costs can be a burden for students and hobbyists. If you’re seeking an alternative to Adobe’s creative suite, consider trying Photopea. Unlike other free alternatives, Photopea isn’t just a watered-down solution with limited features. It’s a robust powerhouse that goes toe-to-toe with Photoshop and Lightroom, offering a surprising amount of advanced features without costing a dime.

So, whilst some very good reasons are given to use it, and many will want to because of the intuitive UI and cross-platform support, they are very clear that the product is free because it is paid for by adverts in the app. Adverts can be annoying, but they may also be intrusive in terms of privacy. That said, they do not look like they take over the interface.

While Photopea won’t rival the likes of Canva, its graphic design tools can surely challenge the likes of Krita and Illustrator. You can create vector graphics using pen, shape, and text tools, explore path manipulations, and use web design tools to create mockups. You surely won’t have a hard time sketching concepts, designing logos, and creating illustrations.

Why Is the #Amiga so Beloved in the #Demoscene?

The Commodore Amiga and its Undying Adoration by Anarchist Creatives

The Commodore Amiga is a successful line of personal #computers from the mid-1980s to 1990s. At the time of its introduction, the Amiga had superior #graphics and #sound capabilities compared to all other home computers. This magical computer enabled its young users to create graphics, #music and #animations with a level of sophistication that was previously unattainable in the home.

To this day, the Amiga holds a great significance in the demoscene, a niche #subculture of #developers, musicians and #artists who create real-time audiovisual presentations called demos.

This essay investigates the gestation of the demoscene, the Amiga platform's revolutionary beginnings, its emotional resonance within a dedicated community, and its broader influence on the field of computer graphics and music. Why is the Amiga still one of the most beloved and significant platforms in the demoscene?

What is a Amiga Demo or Megademo

The Commodore Amiga was a popular #personal #computer that was known for its #advanced #graphics and #sound #capabilities. One of the ways that users of the Amiga #demonstrated these capabilities was through the #creation of #demos, which were short #programs that #showcased the system's #audio and #visual capabilities.

MegaDemos, also known as demo #collections, were a type of Amiga demo that combined multiple smaller demos into a larger #package. These collections typically included several different demos with varying #themes and #styles, and were often designed to be impressive showcases of the Amiga's capabilities.

MegaDemos were usually created by groups of demo #programmers and #artists who collaborated to create the demos, and they often competed with other groups to see who could create the most impressive demo. These #competitions were known as demo parties, and were popular among Amiga enthusiasts in the 1980s and 1990s.

Some famous MegaDemos include the "Unreal" and "State of the Art" demos by the demo group "The Silents," and "Hardwired" and "9 Fingers" by "Spaceballs." These demos were known for their impressive visuals, music, and animations, and were popular among Amiga users and demo enthusiasts.

MegaDemos played an important role in the early demo scene and helped to showcase the power of the Amiga's advanced graphics and sound capabilities. Today, they are still enjoyed by retro gaming enthusiasts and are seen as an important part of the history of the Commodore Amiga computer.
