Replace Lightroom and Photoshop
Adobe’s Lightroom and Photoshop make a great match, and usually, you need both. Lightroom for catalogs and initial processing. Photoshop for retouching and deeper photo enhancement. The problem is that Adobe’s software is expensive and consumes too much RAM. Try these alternatives instead.
Photoshop + Lightroom alternative toolkit
Remove unwanted objects
TouchRetouch will help you remove a person in the background, get rid of the skin blemishes, lines, and any unwanted objects. Everything you need to eliminate imperfections.
Make quick edits
CameraBag Pro is a perfect app for various edits, from adjusting contrast and brightness to adding special effects and bokeh lights. No time tweaking it all? Make instant changes with dozens of presets for different photo types like architecture, landscape, or portrait.
Bring portraits to perfection
Portrait retouching sounds like a tedious job, but not with Luminar Neo. Its AI-powered retouching tools detect facial features so you can work directly with them. Smoothen the skin tone, remove imperfections, fix the light, and more.
There are many other tools to explore, from smart sky replacement to panoramas and time-saving presets.
Modify a batch of photos
Manage large photo collections with PhotoBulk, a great alternative to Lightroom's Catalogs. PhotoBulk will help you edit a batch of photos: resize, rename, and change metadata, all in one click. You can even add a watermark to the whole pack.
Edit metadata
MetaImage is a powerful tool to view and edit image metadata and geotags. The app supports over 90 image formats and numerous tags, including MakerNotes, EXIF, IPTC, and XMP. You can also create presets to update metadata in multiple photos — it's time to get everything organized.
Save disk space
If you deal with photos, you probably deal with low disk space. It’s just never enough! Squash will help you compress photos so they weigh less, without ruining the quality. Try it, at least for the sake of the funny noises the app makes when squeezing photos. It’s oddly addictive.
