PhotoLine is a very fast, stable and comfortable program. It has many features and can do nearly everything with pictures and graphics. As mentioned below (Tom) all is very simple to reach. And it is always updated and runs on all my systems without any problem. A big thanks to the developer...

Photoline is one of the best-kept Mac secrets ever; a professional graphics workhorse that does everything but the dishes. Other apps claim to replace Photoshop, but only Photoline & GIMP really do.
Photoline, Photoshop & GIMP all do similar things in different ways. But for serious image work, SVG drawing or page layout, nothing can top Photoline’s simplicity, stability & power. It’s the easiest, most versatile graphics app I’ve used since Freehand bit the dust. It runs flawlessly on OS X, & costs about the same as renting Photoshop for 3 months.
Photoline’s spartan but extremely customizable interface provides a range of advanced, very customizable tools, filters, effects, brushes, KB shortcuts, layer & mask modes, a killer SVG drawing mode, 3D mode, image-tracing, multi-page layout features, 32 & 64-bit modes for Photoshop plugins, dozens of import/export formats & a lot more. Photoline can also host & run other apps to utilize their features. And it does it all in a clean 63 MB (Adobe bloatware it ain't!).
The learning curve isn’t steep, but the terminology & actions are innovative & a bit unorthodox (for example, ’feathering,’ is called ‘soft edge’). As with most graphic apps, experimentation aids learning.
I also use GIMP, the award-winning free professional open-source Photoshop rival with countless free plugins online. AffinityPhoto & AffinityDesigner also have many great features. Together, these apps do way more than Photoshop for a fraction of its cost. And without all the intrusive Adobe adware.

UI could be nicer, but the functionality is nearly equal to Photoshop. One of my essential apps. Use it for years now
