Luminar and Lightroom are both very similar RAW development apps on the surface, which can make it difficult to tell which app is the right one for your image editing workflow. Luminar Neo is the latest release from Skylum (formerly Macphun), focused on providing easy-to-use AI tools for quick RAW image editing. It’s designed for users of all skill levels and brings together an impressive set of cutting-edge AI tools into one app, including noise reduction, sharpening, upscaling, and more.

Choosing an image editing app can be difficult, but you won’t have any trouble this time. The choice between these two should be quite simple: Snapseed is designed for making fun edits to smartphone images, while Lightroom is designed for professional photographers. Snapseed was originally the work of the well-respected Nik Software, but Google bought the entire company and sold off or discontinued most of Nik’s apps.

This is going to be one of the most difficult software comparisons I’ve had to make because both of these apps provide an excellent RAW development workflow with plenty of advanced tools. DxO PhotoLab has an impressive reputation based partly on DxO’s pioneering invention of automatic lens correction profiles. That focus on peak image quality is still true today, which makes it perfect for photographers who demand the absolute best from their images (and are willing to take the time to get it).

It can be difficult to choose which image editing software deserves your time and money, and these two popular apps offer similar but varied features for prospective image editors. Serif Affinity Photo is a one-stop shop for all your image editing needs, offering a non-destructive RAW development workflow as well as the layer-based pixel editing tools that are necessary for retouching and compositing.

The naming similarities between Photoshop and Photoshop Elements can be confusing at first, but each app is intended for a different type of image editing project. Photoshop is an extremely powerful image editor that has become the industry standard app across many digital art disciplines. It offers professional-grade editing features, cutting-edge AI tools, and an impressive range of third-party plugins for expanding its capabilities.
