How to pick the best photo editor for your life<article>

Browsing the App Store for new photo-editing software can be overwhelming. There are dozens of image editors, and it’s difficult to tell which is the right
one for your needs.</p><p>
If you’re already using iPhoto or Aperture, stick with those programs until Photos is released in 2015—it may be all you need. If you’re willing to
pay for more features, here are all the big (and subtle) differences between today’s top image editors to help you choose the software that’s best for you.</p><p>

iPhoto</h2></p><p>
This image database and non-destructive editor will be replaced by a new app named Photos in 2015, though it’s still one of the easiest places to import,
manage, correct, and share your photos. Instead of editing your originals, it stores your edit requests in a database, so you can always revert to your
original. It works on a variety of file formats, including raw, and its Adjust panel lets you adjust exposure, color temperature, highlights and shadows
(independently), remove noise, and sharpen. A rudimentary healing brush lets you remove small stuff, and you can easily create black-and-whites, add a
sepia (brown) or vintage tint, and apply a white, black, or blurry effect to a photo’s edges. iPhoto lets you share images via email and social media
sites, and create gorgeous cards,
calendars, and
photo books—you can print the cards yourself, too, which is handy. On the downside, there’s no way edit a certain area in your image (you can’t lighten
teeth, for example), adjustments can be copied and pasted only onto
one other image at a time, and you can’t combine images or add text. iPhoto
also squirrels your photos away into its own filing system, so you can’t control the directory structure in which photos are stored.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/2857662/how-to-pick-the-best-photo-editor-for-your-life.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
