8. Image and photo editing tools

High-quality visual communication relies on photos and graphics. Adobe Photoshop remains the standard in professional design, but requires experience. GIMP provides a free alternative with most of the necessary functions, while Pixlr is a simple online tool available in your browser.

In popularizing science, these tools are used to prepare illustrations in popular science articles, create visual materials for public presentations, or create posters and graphics for science festivals and campaigns. Authors use them to create clear and attractive visuals that help interpret research results, present projects to a wider audience, and shape a recognizable visual identity for scientific initiatives.
