I am a long-time Adobe Photoshop user, and consider myself an advanced user of it, although the version I had was several years old (I'm a semi-professional photographer). After my motherboard died on my last computer, and I got a new one and upgraded to Windows 10, I found my copy of PS wouldn't work. And, since the lovely folks at Adobe won't give you free upgrades on software you've spent over $600 on, that meant purchasing a new one - for another $600. I said to hell with that, and searched on Steam for an alternative that still had a lot of the same features that PS had, but at a much more reasonable price. And I found...Pixeluvo.

FANTASTIC software. FANTASTIC price. I have admittedly only used it so far for a few hours, but already I have picked up the basics and some advanced functionality of it (layers, layer masks, etc.) and edited a ton of photos using it. I can honestly say that the results are easily as good as I used to get with PS - can't tell the difference at all, and I get the same results I wanted but at a MUCH more reasonable price.

This is very powerful software, that goes way beyond so many of the other photo-editing programs out there on the market that really are just a dime-a-dozen. I highly recommend this for anyone who can't afford (or doesn't want to pay for) the outrageous price that Adobe charges for PS, but still wants most - if not all - of the sophisticated and in-depth features that PS provides, at a fraction of the price. SO glad I found Pixeluvo - will be using it for all of my photo editing - both casual snapshots and my serious photography - from now on.
