How does Pixelmator compare to Affinity photo? I've been looking for an apple aperture replacement; I know adobe lightroom is the best option available, but I already have too many subscriptions.
- jkestner 3y agoI only had the original Pixelmator, but while it was superfast and Mac-like, it felt amateur next to Affinity, which feels like the Adobe replacement it’s angling to be. But each is $70 flat and I know Affinity has sales that make it a steal, so buy both and you’re probably still ahead if you cancel your CC sub.
- mattkevan 3y agoI’ve got both, but prefer Pixelmator for most things. While I like the idea of Affinity, I find it quite clunky to use and often find myself looking up the manual. Pixelmator probably isn’t as fully featured, but for making quick edits it’s excellent. It’s become my go-to image editor and use it multiple times a day. Plus the AI tools are a bonus. Upscaling isn’t as good as Topaz Gigapixel or something like SwinIR, but it’s extremely handy to have it built in.
