ON1 Photo RAW is a do-anything photo editor, featuring a comprehensive set of image organization and processing tools (like Adobe Lightroom, but – in many ways – even better). For photo-editing beginners as well as advanced editors in need of a no-subscription program, consider getting an ON1 Photo RAW 2024 lifetime license for $99.99. Alternatively, you can grab a yearly subscription – which comes with a handful of cool extras, including access to ON1’s incredible plugins – right here for $89.99.

Photoshop Basics for Photographers

Due to its sea of tools, complex interface, and array of menus, Photoshop is a notoriously difficult program to learn. But Photoshop is also insanely powerful; photographers can use it to modify colors, remove distractions, retouch portraits, swap skies, add textures, and so much more.

That’s where Phil Steele’s Photoshop Basics for Photographers course comes in handy, which offers “a way for anyone to learn Photoshop – without confusion or struggle – in just three hours.” Normally, the course costs $69, but dPS readers can grab it for just $39 via our special link.

Backblaze Subscription

Photographers often worry about the safety and security of their photos – and if they aren’t yet concerned, they should be! That’s why I use and recommend Backblaze – all it requires is a simple install, and then it’ll automatically back up every file stored on the computer as well as all files uploaded at a later date. Plus, the pricing is excellent; an annual subscription costs just $99, making Backblaze a great sub-$100 photography gift.
