About

Photon Studio is a free desktop photo-editing and design application for photographers, retouchers, illustrators, and other creative users working with raster images. It provides layered editing, selections, masks, retouching, color and RAW adjustments, filters, text, vector shapes, artboards, and batch actions. The application opens and saves PSD and PSB files with layers and supports common image formats, familiar Photoshop-style tools, and keyboard shortcuts. AI-assisted selections and background removal run locally on the user's computer. Photon supports offline workflows, a command-line interface, and an MCP server that lets compatible coding assistants and agents work with documents. Available for macOS, Windows, and Linux, it stores files locally and does not require an account for normal use. Photon is suitable for personal and commercial creative work.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • One of its most notable and useful features is that it has an extensive range of brushes or retouching brushes to use. In addition, it offers a wide range of formats to work with: JPEG, PNG, TGA, PSD, and many more. Likewise, it has an internal storage base of the images that are edited in the program.
  • Twistedbrush is a semi-professional photo editing application that is quite complete in general terms. It has different editing sections, among them: layers, filters, drawing templates, and many more. Besides, you can draw from scratch anything you want since it has a canvas option for you to make art on it.

Cons

  • Although it has many design and photo editing tools, it has a limitation of only 15 days of trial and the cost of its Premium extension is very high unlike many other editors. Similarly, the application does not offer any training on how to use it and it is confusing to use as it has many features.
  • Although it has so many useful tools for photography and drawing enthusiasts, access to all of them requires a paid subscription for its services that range between 4€ and 6€ depending on the plan you choose. It is a problem since there are other very good photo editors that are well below the price of Twistedbrush.
