Photopea vs RNI Films

Photopea is a browser-based editor for raster and vector graphics, with tools for image resizing, webpage design, illustration, and photo processing. Its editing toolkit includes layers, masks, blending, smart objects, adjustment layers, channels, paths, filters, and vector tools. It opens and saves PSD files and lists support for formats including PNG, JPG, SVG, PDF, AI, HEIC, TIFF, MP4, INDD, and Figma. Photopea also offers one-click background removal and image-part replacement from a text description. It says files are processed on the user's device and can still be opened, edited, and saved offline. Dropbox, Google Drive, and OneDrive can be connected optionally. Browser installation creates a homescreen icon but still runs the editor in a browser; a separate self-hosted package can run on a customer server or local network without internet access. The free editor has a free plan. School ad-free access costs $450 a year for the whole school. The self-hosted version is listed at $5,002,000 a month, paid a whole year in advance.

RNI Films is an analogue-film photo app that simulates the look and colours of real film emulsions. It organizes filters by film type and provides an instant before-and-after preview in a minimal-tap editing workflow. Its Film Grain tool applies what the maker describes as genuine film grain rather than digital noise, and the maker characterizes its rendering and output as desktop quality. Photos can be shared to social networks from the app. RNI Films is offered for iOS, macOS, and Windows; the maker says an Android app is not viable at present. Android users can instead sync RNI Lightroom presets to Lightroom Mobile with an Adobe Creative Cloud subscription. A free plan is listed. Paid presets and styles support Adobe Lightroom, Photoshop ACR, and Capture One, with listed monthly plans from 82.00 USD to 192.00 USD. The maker is Really Nice Images LTD, which describes itself as a London-based art and technology company.
