Developers Have Access to a Lot of Great Development Tools

Web designers, developers and site administrators can never have too many tools at their disposal, particularly when they happen to be away from their workstations. When it comes to image editing solutions, it is not unusual to find professionals who switch between Photoshop, GIMP and an online app for quick fixes.
While the Adobe Cloud offers a nice, browser-based version of Photoshop, not everyone is interested in the subscription model. As for GIMP, the user interface often feels cumbersome despite the powerful features provided by this open source solution. Online image editors other than Photoshop tend to be too simplistic, but there's a new option that is clearly looking to bridge the online gap between GIMP and Adobe.
Photopea is an impressive browser app that is more comprehensive and polished than its various competitors. The user interface will feel warmly familiar to those who have experience with Photoshop and other Adobe products. The menu bar follows the usual File - Edit - Image - Layer - Select - Filter format, and the left sidebar provides quick access to all relevant editing and design tools. The default image pane allows a tabbed view for multiple files, and the right sidebar is where layer edits can be applied on the fly. There are enough brushes, stamps, fonts, text tools, effects, and filters for standard edits.
An impressive aspect of Photopea is that it loads faster then the cloud version of Photoshop, and it natively opens .psd files, which is a major advantage over GIMP, an app that handles such files by means of format conversion. Photopea is fully responsive, which means that it can be used on iPads and other mobile devices.
In the end, web and graphic design professionals should keep an eye on the ongoing development of Photopea. The developer has been very active on social media platforms frequented by fellow programmers as well as by the design community. Thus far, this cloud app is the closest you can get to Photoshop, and it is nice to have as a free option that can be launched from just about any browser.
