The app also supports layers for creating composite images, and alpha channels for adjusting transparency. You can download it from the Mac App Store. You will, however, need a bit of patience in order to get to grips with all those tools.

The app makes few concessions for beginners, and its interface throws a rather intimidating array of palettes, tools, and menu commands at you right from the start.

Fortunately, the main Start screen does include some sample files that you can download and experiment with, along with links to a selection of online video tutorials to help you get started. Affinity Photo allows you to edit HDR photos that you shoot on the latest iPhones, as well as stitching multiple photos together to create panoramas. It can even edit degree shots taken with specialist cameras for virtual reality projects.

For some reason, Google decided to kill off its popular Picasa photo app a few years ago, and its photographic offerings now focus on the online Google Photos service. You can view all your photos online using a web browser on your Mac, and organise them into albums for easy browsing. The actual editing tools are pretty basic, limited to a selection of simple filters, and slider controls for adjusting lighting and colour, along with tools for cropping, rotation and adjusting aspect ratio. However, Google Photos does have one big strong point that might tempt you away from simply sticking with iCloud.

There are no ads and no in-app purchases to tempt cash out of you, either. Instead of colourful icons and helpful tools, Gimp fills its main editing screen with dull grey icons and long menus and dialogue boxes containing annoyingly small text descriptions. Gimp also has many of the same editing tools as more expensive rivals such as Photoshop Elements, with precise selection tools, layers, clone brush, and a variety of transformation tools, such as crop, scale and shear. PhotoScape X is a relative newcomer when compared to photo-editing veterans like Photoshop Elements, but this free app has proved popular with many users on both Macs and Windows PCs.

Instead of tool bars and palettes, PhotoScape X displays its main editing window with a series of tabs running along the top of the window. Each tab focuses on a specific task, starting with the Viewer tab that provides a quick preview of an entire folder of photos at once.

You can then select a specific photo that you want to work on and switch into the Editor tab. The other tabs at the top of the editing window tend to focus on working with multiple photos, including the Batch tab, which allows you to crop, resize or apply effects to a whole group of photos all at once.

We also like the GIF tab, which allows you to quickly combine a series of photos into an animated GIF for use on the web. One area where PhotoScape X does fall short is with its rather limited selection tools — which means that you generally have to apply edits and effects to an entire photo rather than selected areas within an image.

Since all the adjustments in the Adjust Colors tool can as far as I know only be used once per layer, I end up flattening the adjustment or copying and masking the layer so that I can use Adjust Colors once on each copy or some other workaround.
