Here's our list of best software for photographers
CameraBag Pro: Photo and video editor for Mac
Best Photo Management Software for Mac/Windows. Adobe camera raw software. MacX MediaTrans. If you prefer to take photos with iPhone iPad iPod, there is nothing better than photo management software to manage your iOS photos. It serves as the best picture manager both for Mac and Windows (macOS Big Sur/Windows 10 incl.), to backup photos with precious memory, transfer photos from iOS to Mac. Photo Viewer Free is a super fast photo viewer software with wonderful experience, supports almost all photos formats and RAW files, batch process and effective touch up features for photo browsing.
Having robust photo editing software on your Mac is almost as important as shooting on a good camera with a powerful lens. CameraBag Pro gives you the editing power you need in a clean and glossy interface. With 200+ professional filters, you'll quickly jazz up your photos before posting, while more advanced controls let you do anything from color correction to retouching. Based on a powerful processing engine, CameraBag Pro is the best photo and video editing software designed for speed and quality. Cd cover design software.
Gemini 2: Duplicate photo finder for Mac
It often takes a dozen takes to catch the smile on your baby's face or capture a skater in motion. The problem is that similar shots add up and make it hard for you to find the ones you actually like. And if they get out of hand, eventually you'll find yourself running out of disk space. Before that happens, add a duplicate photo finder to your workflow. Gemini 2 finds not only exact duplicates (which typically appear when you merge several libraries), but also those lookalike photos. You can quickly compare images, check mark the copies you don't like, and bulk delete them in a click.

Photos: Photo organizer app for Mac
Photo management software for Mac is a whole niche, but honestly, the system's own Photos is good enough for organizing your library (here's a more detailed guide to organizing your library with Photos). Just like the iOS version, Photos on macOS automatically groups your pics into Moments, Collections, and Years. Plus, it creates separate albums for selfies, your favorites, panoramas, and videos. But the best feature so far is Smart Albums: it lets you group photos by a whole range of criteria, such as filename, date, camera model, and even the person in them. Speaking of which, you can search for a photo with a specific person in it, as well as try and find the photo you need by its content — like 'cat' or 'sunset.' So even if you never leave home without your camera and have thousands of pics to organize, Photos is up to the task.
Renamer: Batch rename photos on Mac
Organizing thousands of photos is a whole lot easier when you have a naming system. And while macOS offers basic renaming options, Renamer lets you get far more creative. For example, you can add the day taken, dimensions, camera, or folder name — and even bulk convert JPEG into JPG to keep all your images consistent. Plus, if you make a mistake or a typo while renaming your whole photoshoot, you'll fix it in a snap.
PhotoBulk: Watermark and bulk resize photos
Once you start getting your photos out there — posting them on Instagram, putting together a portfolio, or publishing them on your blog — you need a few additional tools. Watermarking, so you can establish a name and the content doesn't get stolen. Resizing, so you can fit the photos into a blog post. Lossless optimization, so that your portfolio loads fast. PhotoBulk helps you do all that in bulk, with the added benefits of converting images and managing their metadata. Can i get apps on my macbook.
Squash: Photo compressor for Mac
High-quality photos can be unreasonably heavy, and the web has no love for heavy images. If you're uploading your work to a portfolio or a blog, huge photos can slow it down to a halt. An image compressor for Mac like Squash will prevent that from happening. It's a super simple one-click app that squeezes all extra data out of your photos and makes them a lot lighter without loss of quality.
Best Photo Software For Mac 2016 Free
Uplet: Instagram app for Mac
What was built as a platform for quick mobile snapshots is now a whole gallery for photographers of all levels. Nevertheless, Instagram is still geared towards mobile photography, so if you shoot on a camera and edit on a Mac, you probably have a whole procedure just to post to Instagram. But that's about to end: with Uplet, you'll easily upload your shots to Instagram from Mac. This uncomplicated app gives you access to the most wanted Insta feature — bulk uploading photos and videos right from Mac's desktop. You can also adjust image size appearance and add captions in Uplet before sharing your content. Smooth and easy.
Hope these tools improve your day-to-day as a photographer! If there's a great app we missed, hit us up on Facebook, and don't forget to share the list with other photography fans.

[Editor's note: This piece is from 2016, but has been so popular we are re-featuring it for those of you who may have missed out!]
The High Tech Hobbyist has compiled a list of the five best free photo editing applications of 2016. Photoshop is fantastic and I think that around $10 a month for Photoshop and Lightroom is a solid deal. But it's still $120 a year that could've been spent elsewhere. If you want to be frugal without losing all of Photoshop's capabilities, consider the free photo editors below.
You can find a lot of the same great features you find in Photoshop in the free GIMP. Available for Windows, Mac and Linux, GIMP also supports plugins. For GIMP tutorials, see the video below or check out this list.
More similar in layout to Photoshop is Pixlr. What makes Pixlr stand out is that it's available as a browser-based editor and as a mobile app (for Android and iOS devices). Without needing to download anything, you can open up Pixlr.com and go to work on your images inside your preferred browser.
Photoscape is available for Mac and Windows and is the simplest editor of the bunch. You can apply filters, crop and do some other basic adjustments to your images. Also available is a simple GIF creator tool. This is a rather watered down editor, however.
To see the other two (Windows-exclusive) free photo editing applications, check out the full list at The High Tech Hobbyist.
Readers, do you have experience with any the software options listed above or know of another free photo editor not mentioned? Let us know in the comments below.
