About the Media & Design shelf
BetterPicker's Media & Design category gathers the tools for editing video, retouching photos, modeling in 3D and designing on screen. Tools enter the shelf through editorial review; entries without a rating yet are still vetted for the basics — a working product and honest positioning.
Ratings here are data-based: each editor rating is a pure function of public review-video signals (views, likes, discussion), so a tool can't buy its way up this page. The shelf updates as new tools pass review.
Sub-category cards link to their own shelves (/categories/<shelf>); the Type (web / desktop / self-host) filter lives in the URL as ?form= only.
