The usual ones, depending on what I am doing at the time: 

Pixelmator, Affinity Photo, Affinity Designer

Affinity Photo and Designers have essentially taken the place of
Photoshop and Illustrator for me, and I couldn't be happier about that.

The ones I use? No. That doesn't mean free ones aren't readily
available though. I choose the ones I use because they are better than
free alternatives, naturally. The phrase, "You get what you pay for"
does apply to image editors.

So go forth and find an image editor that supports that. There are
*plenty* to choose from out there. I'd start with a simple web search
for something like "mac image editor" or perhaps "free mac image
editor", and go from there.

Apple does sign apps, yes.

What about them?

Of course I use Windows. Most of the world does. I just don't choose to
run it on my own personal hardware, except through a VM on my Mac, and
only when absolutely necessary. : )

GIMP has always been free and open source. It runs fine on OS X. Have at
it.
