How we rank
Every one of these photo editing tools is scored on the same 6 weighted criteria (scorecard v1), from the vendor's published data. 22 of the 40 listed have enough verified data to be ranked; a tool with under 60% of the weight covered is listed but not ranked. Nobody gets custom weights, including our own products.
