# Image Editor
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Developers/artists use image editors to manipulate or transform images. *Crop, resize, color-correct, composite (combine many images into one), or remove unwanted objects.*
|
||
|
|
Some are more popular than others, but they all have similar editing capabilities. The following sections cover some of their differences.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Web App Image Editors
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Web App Image Editors are available in-browser. In other words, you do not need to leave your browser to work on an image. Example: the ability to open images from a local folder/ url.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Open Source Editors
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Available as free downloads and open to user contributions to the software's development.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Paid Editors
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Paid Editors need either a one-time payment or are subscription-based. But, trial-versions are available to test out the software before committing to buy. If you happen to be a student, many times, there are discounts available through a student email or ID.
