Seashore – Open Source Image Editor

Friday, September 29th, 2006 | Mac Resources, Reviews

Seashore Icon All Macs come with a great photo organizing program called iPhoto. With iPhoto you’ll be able to make some of the most common photo edits. However, if you’re looking for an image editor that will give you a little more control, but will not run you into bankruptcy, Seashore may be a good alternative. Seashore is an open source software, which means that its free. It won’t cost you a dime to try it. It has some basic tools, such as selection, cropping, text, layers and other image editing features. If you’re used to Adobe Photoshop, then you will find this program a bit limiting. However, considering its price (free) it offers a great set of features and will allow you to do basic image editing. So, head on over to Seashore and give it a try.

Keep in mind, Seashore is still in the initial stages of development. So, there may be some bugs. I’ve been using it for a few months now and haven’t had any problems. But developers of Seashore warn that issues may occur. If you encounter bugs, please report them.

What image editing software do you use? Do you know of any other open source image editing programs?
