The Best Photo Editing Tool For Writers
Ditch Photoshop, ditch anything that costs you more than 50 bucks a lifetime…
Since I was 18, I had a huge interest in photography and editing images. Nearly 20 years later I can say I have used half a dozen of well-known photo editing tools like Photoshop, Gimp, Affinity Photo, Luminar AI, and Pixelmator Pro and this last one is the one I really want to bring to your attention today.
As writers and content creators, we often end up needing to either decorate or illustrate the point we’re making. A picture is supposedly worth a 1000 words, so a well-placed graphic can make a huge difference in the overall content. Medium, for instance, helps with this by adding the Unsplash integration, but there’s one major problem with it — everyone uses it, and everyone uses the images from the first couple of pages. I regularly try to go past page 10 even, but what I noticed is that typically the further I go, the less relevant the results are, which creates an issue for me because ultimately, it means, my stories will lose part of their uniqueness and brand. And then of course the very-very slight chance of a potential copyright infringement lawsuit that Susie Kearley highlighted a number of times.
