It's super fast and super easy to edit even large text files and if you're a coder it has all of these different programing language modes. This is a text editing tool and it's quite a bit more advanced than just using TextEdit. Here's another app in the Mac App Store and it's COT or CotEditor. So while it is pretty basic it will probably cover like 95% of most people's needs as far as editing images and photos. I can go in here and do Color Adjustments, Color Effects, Enhancements, Stylize things, you know apply cool effects like this. But also it has some of the basic stuff that you may find in PhotoShop and other apps, for instance. It will open up the image inside of Seashore and, of course, you can use all of these drawing tools on it. As a matter of fact you can use it directly from the Photos App if you go to Image, and then Edit With, Seashore is one of the options that you'll get. With Seashore you could do a lot more than you could do just in Photos or in Preview because you could actually start off by creating a completely new image and then draw in it just like you would expect in a paint app. Seashore is a completely free image editor. You can also export out as a variety of different formats. Audacity is a little easier to deal with if you just want to take a piece of an audio track and save it out as file or some quick editing or applying an effect. It's pretty pro-level when it comes to audio editing. There's even a whole ton of different effects. It will open it up and you could see how I can see both stereo tracks. So, for instance, I'll open up this MP3 file with Audacity. So with Audacity you can record audio and in fact it starts you off right here with a window and you can record right from your microphone. This app has been around for a long time just like VLC. But with VLC you can do most of those things for free. Typically you need to pay for an app like Apple's Compressor in order to convert videos. Then you could even customize beyond that so you have a lot of options here. That means you could use this conversion process to take that file and then convert it to a more standard format like basic H264. So occasionally if you run into a file, say, from an older camera or something you download online and QuickTime Player won't play it and iMovie won't import it, you could still play it in VLC. Now VLC will actually read more file type than QuickTime Player does. You can drag and drop a video file into it. So if you go to File you can do Convert/Stream and then you get this window here. But that's not why it's so cool! You can convert videos with it. But you could also create a playlist of videos. If you drag and drop a video file into the initial VLC window it will play it.
