For almost three decades Photoshop has been the king of image editing apps on the Mac. But it is clearly a professional tool, with a professional price and learning curve. The Photos app that comes with your Mac has a great set of image adjustment functions that meets the needs of most users. And Preview has some image editing tools too. But what if you need more? Here is a list of apps you can get directly from developers or the Mac App Store that won’t break the bank. These developers come out with new versions all the time, so be sure to check the sites for the latest prices, features and options.

A common question people have is “What does this icon mean in the iPhone Weather app?” The iPhone Weather app gets its information from Yahoo Weather. The forecast should be the same as if you want to Yahoo and looked up the weather for your area. But the iPhone Weather app doesn’t include descriptions of the graphic icons that appear next to each day.
Some are obvious. A bright yellow sun means “sunny.” But others are less obvious. So you would think that there would be a guide somewhere to these icons.
Not only is there not a guide, but it seems the icons used in the iPhone app are not used anywhere else. Yahoo has many different sets of weather icons for use on their sites and by third-party developers. But none exactly match the ones used on the iPhone.
However, the following set comes very close. Close enough that you should be able to find a match if you are unsure what an icon means. Note that some icons are used for multiple weather conditions. For instance, Tropical Storm and Hurricane use the same icon as Thunderstorms.
