These programs do some or most of the same things you can do with Photoshop. Many of them open/edit PSD or DNG files. Almost all open Jpeg or Tiff files. The notion that you would ever be left high and dry if you stopped using Photoshop is hereby proven bunk. If you don’t want to pay Adobe for CC or if you can’t afford to pay Adobe for CC you have lots of other choices. In my opinion, the best alternative then is to use Lightroom with Photoshop Elements. This gives most photographers all the editing and organizing they will ever need. Ultimately, Photoshop is king of the hill and will be tough to replace, but it is possible to get close.</p>

</header>
<div>
<p data-textannotation-id="84255e122063965cef48155124340371">The Chrome app store has seen a lot of improvements lately, but a lot of the apps that work inside Google Chrome still go under the radar. With that in mind, here are a few of our favorites you might not have seen yet.</p>
<p data-textannotation-id="941bafc5e897491c767dcffb20e47826">Recently, Google has <a href="http://gigaom.com/2013/05/01/more-offline-chrome-apps-arrive-chrome-web-store-previews-packaged-apps/" target="_blank">pushed for more offline apps in the Chrome Web Store</a>. This means they operate just like an app on your computer, but they exist entirely in the Chrome browser. You can use these on a Chromebook, or any other computer you have with Chrome installed. That means they come in handy when you&#8217;re working off a rental laptop, or just a computer without a lot of hard drive space.</p>
<p data-textannotation-id="ea9afacd2b8002439cacb0b1925ceb5d">While we&#8217;re still waiting to get offline support for some apps, a number of these already work offline, so you don&#8217;t need an internet connection to use them. The best part? In some cases they can actually replace space-consuming desktop software for when you&#8217;re working on the go.</p>
<h3 data-textannotation-id="6a5fc2b70bf7617c735bff635a4f4963">The Google Suite of Apps</h3>
<p data-textannotation-id="a671a5a15111739f5a50a4b6977c56ce"><img alt="" src="http://img.gawkerassets.com/img/18mz3dfi11ua4jpg/ku-xlarge.jpg" width="640" height="203" /></p>
<p data-textannotation-id="a671a5a15111739f5a50a4b6977c56ce">If you&#8217;re using Chrome, you already have the <a href="https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/google-drive/apdfllckaahabafndbhieahigkjlhalf" target="_blank">Google Drive app</a> installed, but the rest of Google&#8217;s apps don&#8217;t come pre-packed into Chrome. The nice thing about all of Google&#8217;s apps is that they all work offline. So, if you use an app like <a href="https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/google-calendar/ejjicmeblgpmajnghnpcppodonldlgfn" target="_blank">Google Calendar</a>, <a href="https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/gmail-offline/ejidjjhkpiempkbhmpbfngldlkglhimk" target="_blank">Gmail Offline</a>, or <a href="https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/google-keep/hmjkmjkepdijhoojdojkdfohbdgmmhki" target="_blank">Google Keep</a>, you can access all your data offline in the exact same way as you would online.</p>
<p data-textannotation-id="ca05ff96a27070e6379805777762b0bf">Another favorite from the Google suite is the <a href="https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/chrome-remote-desktop/gbchcmhmhahfdphkhkmpfmihenigjmpp" target="_blank">Chrome Remote Desktop</a>, which is a dead simple way to remotely access and control other computers. The fact is, if you use any of Google&#8217;s services, their apps are well made and worth checking out.</p>
<h3 data-textannotation-id="26aff624321e6a6de09db2936dacb66f">Write Code with Codenvy IDE</h3>
<p data-textannotation-id="76a4a09851f65ed405bde9d97d4f61ca"><iframe id="youtube-gS7mqvjxKdQ" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/gS7mqvjxKdQ?wmode=transparent&amp;rel=0&amp;autohide=1&amp;showinfo=0" height="360" width="640" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" frameborder="0"></iframe></p>
<p data-textannotation-id="4178ce420f96e371044598e9a91b9af9"><a href="https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/codenvy-ide/lefigjbiimiemfhjmibbgemkpenelmag" target="_blank">Codenvy IDE</a> is a surprisingly robust collaborative development environment. With it, you can code in HTML, Javascript, Java, Groovy, Ruby, PHP, and Python with a team of people. From there, you can even migrate everything straight to services like Heroku, Google App Engine, and more.</p>
<p data-textannotation-id="3f6eafb974ccefa2b5243c4cba48a087">You&#8217;ll find quite a few development tools in the Chrome Web Store, including <a href="https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/coffeescript-ide/hikjpmfebkagiijbdinakadphhjffaik" target="_blank">CoffeeScript IDE</a>,<a href="https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/application-craft/fnbfgfpielckjhdohmkacklnnjkdpkdc" target="_blank">Application Craft</a>, and the offline-compatible <a href="https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/shiftedit/lcgmndephhjcabhhjfcmncnhbmgbkpij" target="_blank">ShiftEdit</a>, but what makes Codenvy IDE interesting is the collaborative features. Either way, you have a lot of solid options for coding right inside of Chrome.</p>
<h3 data-textannotation-id="a609ea08009022909c70478b65382d2c">Edit Audio with TwistedWave</h3>
<p data-textannotation-id="488273662a1efda7eb956666e7ee77f3"><a href="https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/twistedwave/lhjkhabkkillndljkhedpfldghbpljij" target="_blank"><img alt="" src="http://img.gawkerassets.com/img/18mz3ncmqkdeejpg/ku-xlarge.jpg" width="640" height="203" />TwistedWave</a> is essentially trying to be <a href="http://audacity.sourceforge.net/" target="_blank">Audacity</a> for Chrome. It doesn&#8217;t quite get there, but as a free (you&#8217;ll need to sign up for a free account to get more 30 seconds of editing) audio editing tool that exists solely in your browser, TwistedWave gets the job done. You can easily edit audio files, cut them down, apply effects, and save everything to either Google Drive or SoundCloud. If you just need simple editing, <a href="https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/audio-cutter/plimnkafgoiilijmlbnfoafihjjijbfp" target="_blank">Audio Cutter </a>is a great way to trim clips and edit fades.</p>
<p data-textannotation-id="a20f1b809d3a2288955086a7c1689558">If you&#8217;d rather actually make music, both <a href="https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/audiotool/bkgoccjhfjgjedhkiefaclppgbmoobnk?hl=en" target="_blank">Audiotool</a> and <a href="https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/audiosauna/lkgfemnodkdnenmfkblebnkjpckkjcae" target="_blank">AudioSauna</a> are both great mobile workstations.</p>
<h3 data-textannotation-id="69fe9829047acb45f9cba9eb1e20adff">Tomatoes Keeps You Productive with the Pomodoro Technique</h3>
<p data-textannotation-id="e6c41881dacf8c00d4dd3670e85c53ca"><img alt="" src="http://img.gawkerassets.com/img/18mz3h9m4fvi0jpg/ku-xlarge.jpg" width="640" height="211" /></p>
<p data-textannotation-id="e6c41881dacf8c00d4dd3670e85c53ca">The Pomodoro Technique of productivity is <a href="http://lifehacker.com/5890829/most-popular-productivity-method-the-pomodoro-technique">one of your favorites</a>. All it requires is that you work in solid, 25 minutes blocks and track your working time. You can do this right in Chrome with<a href="https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/tomatoes/jijbhneeenepenoolcdalnekggeialeo" target="_blank">Tomatoes</a>, an app that not only tracks what you&#8217;re up to, but also has a leaderboard to compete on.</p>
<p data-textannotation-id="7413f0fe58e1ff6ff50c5ad89f69c587">If leaderboards aren&#8217;t your thing, <a href="https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/timout-time-management/dekpabfaimofbinkbjlgdkkecodejmbf" target="_blank">Timeout </a>and <a href="https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/pomodorome/pdkkfpnoobbihpjbophkgcibemmmidhk" target="_blank">Pomodoro.me</a> are solid alternatives.</p>
<h3 data-textannotation-id="709a66158a5fca8b7012831883872f17">Get a Minimalist Writing Experience with Write Space</h3>
<p data-textannotation-id="70b4e2af00fbd798d1dad4c9d7d9ed37"><img alt="" src="http://img.gawkerassets.com/img/18mz3i18mtzaijpg/ku-xlarge.jpg" width="640" height="179" /></p>
<p data-textannotation-id="70b4e2af00fbd798d1dad4c9d7d9ed37">You won&#8217;t find a shortage of minimalist writing apps on the desktop that cut out distraction so you can write, so it&#8217;s no surprise that <a href="https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/write-space/aimodnlfiikjjnmdchihablmkdeobhad" target="_blank">Write Space</a> exists in Chrome. Write Space is simple, but you can customize the look of it, what you see, and it has a Google Docs-like persistent auto-save. It also works offline, so you don&#8217;t need an internet connection to use it. If you&#8217;re sick of menus and bloated writing apps, Write Space exists in your browser and doesn&#8217;t get in the way.</p>
<p data-textannotation-id="0a5efbce71b42c500596985802021b82">For a similar experience with a typewriter aesthetic, check out <a href="https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/writer/pnengefjfhgcceajaepbjhanoojifmog" target="_blank">Writer</a> or the Dropbox-syncing<a href="https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/writebox/bbehjmjchoiaglkeboicbgkpfafcmhij" target="_blank">WriteBox</a>.</p>

<p data-textannotation-id="fbabef4245ed0150503f06a1f712d834">You&#8217;re not going to find a video editor of the caliber of Final Cut Pro or Adobe Premiere inside of Google Chrome, but <a href="https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/wevideo-video-editor/okgjbfikepgflmlelgfgecmgjnmnmnnb" target="_blank">WeVideo</a> is an editor that should get you through most novice needs. With WeVideo you can do a bunch of basic editing tricks, including trimming videos, splitting clips, and add a handful of effects. If you just need to make a quick compilation of your vacation videos on your laptop, or you&#8217;re not that concerned with power, WeVideo does the job.</p>
<h3 data-textannotation-id="3e1b99c2e9277d4f4cd38f28a93676a7">Edit Photos with Pixlr Editor</h3>
<p data-textannotation-id="c3545bc4d021f923ca3ccbd2d53a7b05"><img alt="" src="http://img.gawkerassets.com/img/18mz3p1si6bwejpg/ku-xlarge.jpg" width="640" height="252" /></p>
<p data-textannotation-id="c3545bc4d021f923ca3ccbd2d53a7b05">Chrome has a ton of different photo editors, but we like <a href="https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/pixlr-editor/icmaknaampgiegkcjlimdiidlhopknpk" target="_blank">Pixlr Editor</a> the most. With it, you can do basic color correction and editing, as well as use a bunch of popular filters like HDR, tilt-shift, and vignette. It&#8217;s not going to replace Photoshop by any means, but as a lightweight browser tool it suits most people&#8217;s needs.</p>
<p data-textannotation-id="53fbb9bc88464543ce9b675bcd8a733b">For an even simpler option,<a href="https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/befunky-photo-editor/apfkepiiddolifkgjmfdgpnipgnfejab" target="_blank"> BeFunky Photo Editor</a> is easy to use but doesn&#8217;t have a ton of features. Alternately, <a href="https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ipiccy-photo-editor/imokeandodnlammaoenbgcnbhigjbpjh" target="_blank">iPiccy</a> does the bulk of the work for you.</p>
<h3 data-textannotation-id="bf7bccb14693f1ea67fc6e3731a8b564">Keep All Your Chats Private and Secure with CryptoCat</h3>
<p data-textannotation-id="60deaed9f5a491224a23011e3a67db41"><iframe id="youtube-bSjT-_y5Ioo" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/bSjT-_y5Ioo?wmode=transparent&amp;rel=0&amp;autohide=1&amp;showinfo=0" height="360" width="640" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" frameborder="0"></iframe></p>
<p data-textannotation-id="ebbdf0d3a41a3f643d8b51a171b61565">Sick of having all your online chats saved in a cloud server somewhere? <a href="https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/cryptocat/gonbigodpnfghidmnphnadhepmbabhij" target="_blank">Cryptocat</a> is a totally private, secure, and anonymous chat client. That means none of your chats records are saved, and you can communicate with friends knowing that nobody is snooping in.</p>
<p data-textannotation-id="c4b06a5661feddc68844f0b803b4379b">If security&#8217;s not that big of a deal for you, the <a href="https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/imo-messenger/ocaebkdojpikfmhmnekiflipcicedobi" target="_blank">imo messenger</a> is a one-stop app for all your various chat accounts, including Google Talk, AOL, Facebook, and plenty of others.</p>
<p data-textannotation-id="3dd658704d8b2e1c5b1a44f175e0e0e5">Of course, we&#8217;ve only touched the surface here. A number of your favorite apps, like <a href="https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/dropbox/ioekoebejdcmnlefjiknokhhafglcjdl" target="_blank">Dropbox</a>,<a href="https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/evernote-web/lbfehkoinhhcknnbdgnnmjhiladcgbol" target="_blank">Evernote,</a> <a href="https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/pocket/jijgclgmgjipgefcnnnibgllfonlfdap" target="_blank">Pocket</a>, <a href="https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/spotify-music-for-every-m/cnkjkdjlofllcpbemipjbcpfnglbgieh" target="_blank">Spotify</a>, <a href="https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/feedly-your-news-rss-goog/hipbfijinpcgfogaopmgehiegacbhmob" target="_blank">Feedly</a>, <a href="https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/wunderlist-to-do-task-lis/fjliknjliaohjgjajlgolhijphojjdkc" target="_blank">Wunderlist</a>, and <a href="https://chrome.google.com/webstore/category/apps" target="_blank">plenty more</a> have dedicated Chrome apps. It might seem a little silly to use them if you&#8217;re not a Chromebook, but they can come in surprisingly handy on any computer you have that doesn&#8217;t have a lot of hard drive space for more full-featured apps. Of course, if <a href="http://lifehacker.com/5796224/the-intermediate-guide-to-living-entirely-inside-chrome">you are living just inside Chrome</a>, these apps can make the experience a lot better.</p>
