For whom?
Such applications help not only to create pictures, but also to edit them. Anyone who has ever worked in Adobe Photoshop knows that in the program you can change the background, work with colors, shades, light and saturation. Change appearance and retouch, create special effects.
But for whom is all this necessary? Now with the development of the Internet there are a lot of those who need such software. Programs for creating pictures are needed for designers who work with the site. Graphic editors are needed for photographers who process their pictures. Printing centers, printing services, etc. work with images.
Next, we will consider the main softwares that will not only allow you to create an image, but also add labels to it, work with price or 3D pictures.
Adobe Photoshop
This is the main and first program for creating pictures in Russian, which comes to mind. It is theoretically paid, although many users can find a free pirated version. This software meets all the tasks. It allows you to create illustrations and edit existing ones.
Software has long become a brand and it is often simply called “Photoshop”, like all programs similar to it. Now there is already a version of CC 2017. With each update, all current editing tools are improved. But the application remains a leader in commercial raster editing tools.
Picasa
This is a program for creating photo-pictures from Google. It is impossible to draw an image in it from scratch, but you can create collages based on the existing one. Software is free, supports a large number of formats. There is also synchronization with video.
In the program you can work with slide shows and presentations, collages and movies from photos. Conveniently, Picasa automatically creates new albums by sorting photos on a PC. You can add new photos to them, set a password on separate folders and assign a special theme.
From editing here are available: color correction, red-eye removal, changing contrast and brightness, storyboard, etc.
Adobe illustrator
Another product from Adobe. This is a program for creating pictures. But unlike Photoshop, which works with raster graphics, this application creates vector graphics. This is more professional software than Photoshop. Beginners rarely work with him, since he is complex and diverse.
More often, Illustrator is needed by web designers, video editors, etc. In the application, they work with three-dimensional special effects, distortion and deformation. Create special effects in real time using the tools of transparency, drawing, etc.
Paint.net
This is another program for creating pictures with inscriptions. About her know those who have at least once looked for a free version of Photoshop. This is a lightweight version of Adobe Photoshop, which easily copes with a number of tasks that an ordinary user needs. If you were asked to create a collage, add an inscription to the photo, adjust the picture, then Paint.NET can easily cope with it.
Simplicity is the main feature of the application. Everything is clear here, easily described and accessible even for inexperienced users. You can work with layers, add effects, activate plugins and presets.
The gimp
Another fighter with photos and pictures. This is a free software that works with graphic and vector graphics. Logos are often created in it, color correction of the finished image is made, photos are edited, etc.
The graphical editor is simple and easy to cope with simple tasks. He has a set of tools for painting. It is possible to work simultaneously with several photos, apply batch processing, filtering or exposure. Use transformation tools: crop, rotate, tilt, flip, etc.
Movavi photo editor
The raster editor does an excellent job of simple tasks. It doesn’t work with layers and does not draw graphics with special styles, but it is suitable for a photography enthusiast or ordinary user. Its feature is a simple interface.
Using Movavi Photo Editor, you can process photos, adjust images, use dozens of thin add-ons, apply filters and special effects. Software is not suitable for professionals, but for a home user it is considered the best choice.
MyBusnessCatalog
To create a price list with pictures, MyBusnessCatalog is perfect. In general, a price list with pictures is a working tool that occupies a “middle ground” between a full-fledged catalog and a price list. When working with this software, you can make a compact image of the same proportions and sizes.
The option looks much more interesting than a simple table in Excel, in which there is only the article, name and price. With pictures at times easier to understand the assortment. But in order not to add pictures to Excel, there you can’t correct them and do not fool your heads with proportions, it is better to add all the data to MyBusnessCatalog.
Volume
There are also many programs for creating 3D pictures . As mentioned earlier, you can work with them in editors from Adobe, but there are special software programs that are aimed only at working with three-dimensional graphics.
Images3D is a software that helps to make an already finished image three-dimensional. Simply upload a picture to the program and make a couple of clicks. This creates an anaglyph of stereo images.
Zoner 3D Photo Maker is also a fairly simple program that starts with preparing and creating a unique profile. After that, a specific image is added, which turns into a three-dimensional one.
AnaMaker converts photos into anaglyph and Interleave formats. Very simple software that requires you to adjust the brightness and contrast, adjust the angle and with one click get the finished stereo photo.
conclusions
Finding a program for creating pictures is easy. For several years, so many analogues of the legendary Photoshop appeared on the Internet that it’s difficult to count everything. There are narrowly focused editors that work only with image correction, there are more functional applications that allow you to create a picture, change it, edit, convert, etc.
For those who do not want to install programs on a PC, there are online services. Simply tell Google your tasks, and he will select an online graphic editor for you in which you can implement everything. Among them are Aviary, Splashup, Pixlr, etc.
