Until not many years ago there was a popular belief that Apple Mac computers were only used by professionals in graphic design, video editing and photography, and the rest of the professions that comprise what we could call the artistic and creative sector. "I'm thinking of buying a Mac," you said. And automatically someone would answer you: «For what? Not that you were a graphic designer. Anyway!
The fact is that, who more and who less, also uses their Mac to edit photos. There are those who have a lot of knowledge and know what they do, and use professional apps like Photoshop. And then we are the common of the mortals, who just need to make a couple of cuts, apply a filter and little else, and "grapes to pears", as the featured image that illustrates this post.
