Adobe Photoshop : this is the most used
photo editor for beginner DIY photo editors. All the features that are included
in the Gimp program are developed in Photoshop as well. From blurring images,
sharpening them, resizing, changing the colors, to background removal and body
corrections, this photo editor brings out the possibility of changing a neutral
and boring image into a colorful painting, by adding filters or visual effects.
You can use the Healing brush to adjust irregular areas, the Radial Gradient
tool to darken or highlight key points from the pictures, and the new Upright
tool which adjusts lines that should be horizontal or vertical, correcting any
perspective problems. Since January 2014, Adobe also launched a 3D printing
capability, which helps users create a perspective design and show viewing
angles on different objects

don't want to edit photos that you took, with CorelDRAW you can actually design
and create your own objects. It is the most advanced tool used by image
designers, creating various banners, posters or logos, used also at public
printers to adjust the image in the printing page. For photo editing, Corel
Photo-Paint can be used to retouch and enhance images, bitmap creating and
digital painting and also RAW image editing. It has a fashionable workplace, it
uses simple customization, enhanced support for advanced cameras, special
effects, interactive brushes, masks and filter effects. You can also resize
