@Colak, if you’re on a Mac, I find Pixelmator to be very good and often use it myself.
Pixelmator is now only available as pro and costs $70CDN. Photomator is a $40 per annum subscription.

Re: Software discounts and recommendations redux
@bici, yes, there are cheaper alternatives out there but I’m happy with Pixelmator Pro and the old Affinity Suite (I haven’t had the time to try the new app yet) and have no problems with the price. I haven’t used Photomator but I did notice that you can buy a lifetime license rather than have a subscription.

As usual, Michael Tsai has a long list of discounts available this time of the year: mjtsai.com/blog/2025/11/21/black-friday-2025/ . The software is mostly Mac / iOS focussed but some is cross platform.
Also, please avoid spending your money on BigCo, esp. that retailer.

I bounced through a few links here and ended up back at Gentlemen Coders, having bookmarked RAW Power as a rainy day purchase. I’m glad I’ve held off, they have a more super-powered product called Nitro that does even more photo-related stuff on macOS. I miss Aperture, and Lightroom is a comedically awful product…so this might fit the bill. Thanks for the link, phiw13!

Re: Software discounts and recommendations redux
CSS Powell was mentioned elsewhere and he has a sale on his CSS tutorials
Quick reminder that there are less than 24 hours left in my Black Friday sale! You can grab either CSS Demystified or Beyond CSS for 40% off, and get Flexbox Simplified thrown in as a bonus with either one._
Feeling frustrated by CSS? cssdemystified.com
Already comfortable with CSS? beyondcss.dev
