Best editing software for product photography

Essential in photography, particularly product photography, is the post-processing of raw images to maintain the high quality of photographs. Photo editing can be as subtle as touch-ups or as intense as the enhancement of colors or the addition of layers.

Discussed below are some of the best software for editing of photos:

Adobe Photoshop

Considered “the mother of all photo editors” and “the one editor to rule them all,” Photoshop has a plethora of tools that allow users to get the most out of their images. There are also countless guides available in the Internet for those who are not yet adept in using the software.

GIMP

The GNU Image Manipulation Program (GIMP) is one of most popular free editing applications. It has helped users for more than two decades now. Because it is an open source program, it can be installed in any operating system, including Windows, Mac, and Linux. While it is still not on the level of Photoshop, it has the necessary features for product photography.

Fotor

Also a free photo editing software, Fotor can be accessed through an Internet browser, which means that it does not require installation and can be used on the go. It has the basic editing tools, however, its High Dynamic Range (HDR) feature allows editors apply the best lighting for their images.
