This is the first I've heard of Affinity Photo. The feature list looks very complete, for what I use on a regular basis. Are you a long-time Photoshop user? How does it compare?
- 120photo 9y agoI have used PS for 15+ years mostly for photography work. I would not describe myself as a power user but so far I like it. The biggest advantage PS has over anything else (including GIMP) is training, the Adobe ecosystem has so much rich training out there. Most of what I need I have found in Affinity Photo and it even does some things better. The interface is similar to PS that a transition is not too difficult. The app is still at 1.5 so I'm sure there are features I will find missing at some point.
- fractallyte 9y agoAffinity Photo is excellent. It's a way yet from parity with Photoshop, but is certainly competitive. And it's subscription free! If you're into vector illustration, Affinity Designer is a straight replacement for Adobe Illustrator. Also consider awesome software such as Studio Artist (https://synthetik.com/ https://synthetik.com/), and Escape Motions offerings (https://www.escapemotions.com/ https://www.escapemotions.com/). Any conscientious artist should evaluate and consider these alternatives, if only to break up the industry's idiotic enslavement to Adobe.
