Affinity Photo Affinity Photo is a professional, full-featured raster graphics editor. Working in Affinity Photo is always live and you can pan and zoom at 60fps, with live previews... Affinity Photo is a professional level photo editing application. It's very powerful and you can do 99% of things in it that you can do in Photoshop. It can read and write .PSD files, and is compatible (most of the time) with Photoshop brushes and plugins. If you don't mind paying, I'd recommend it. It's ~$50 one time, so no subscriptions. UnleavenedEagle • Jun 2019 • 12 agrees and 0 disagrees Disagree Agree Does effectively everything PS can do, has a matching Designer app and soon Publisher app. Excellent GUI and functionality, well supported and regularly updated. Total no brainer for a simple one-off payment. robfol • Jun 2019 • 11 agrees and 1 disagrees Disagree Agree The only real alternative to Photoshop, they share the most important features. it's also quite a lot cheaper. Guest • Sep 2019 • 3 agrees and 0 disagrees Disagree Agree Interface. Cost. iPad availability. Guest • Jun 2017 • 2 agrees and 0 disagrees Disagree Agree Blazing fast, great interface, cross platform sbnicholas • Sep 2019 • 2 agrees and 0 disagrees Disagree Agree It has all the features you want, when using Photoshop and it can read Photoshop files. It is also very cheap in comparison to Photoshop. Guest • Sep 2019 • 6 agrees and 1 disagrees Disagree Agree I believe, now that it supports Windows, that it's a great alternative to Photoshop. There's a wide variety of features you can find both on Photoshop and Photo, they share most of the key features. Affinity's design is beautiful aswell. Blouko • Dec 2016 • 15 agrees and 0 disagrees Disagree Agree I love gimp for what you get for free.. But best paid alternative without the subscription based software or stripped down PS Elements. Affinity Photo is a sweet deal, and great alternative to Photoshop. I only see this getting better with time and now it's on Windows. Pen support (default settings) could be better but doable. Guest • Dec 2016 • 12 agrees and 0 disagrees Disagree Agree One time Payment. Good Toolset. Very similar to Photoshop Guest • Mar 2018 • 5 agrees and 0 disagrees Disagree Agree Professional grade cross-platform application with well-polished UI which does the same and more, with *no subscription*, no accounts and no cloud stuff eju • Jul 2019 • 2 agrees and 3 disagrees Disagree Agree It's non-subscription, and Affinity keeps adding new features, which do not require a paid upgrade. I'm hooked. aldorr • Dec 2016 • 13 agrees and 2 disagrees Disagree Agree Better than Photoshop, and a fraction of the price if you want to keep using the software for any extended length of time. Adobe's subscription model is simply ridiculous. greentea1 • Mar 2020 Disagree Agree 90% of the same features of Adobe Photoshop. The other 10% are tools rarely even used. Save your money, buy this cheaper alternative. Guest • Apr 2018 • 4 agrees and 0 disagrees Disagree Agree Really Good UI, not expensive and does the job Guest • Dec 2017 • 4 agrees and 0 disagrees Disagree Agree It does the same as PS, sometimes it is even easier to use. After many years of PS I don't miss it at all. Guest • Jul 2019 • 1 agrees and 0 disagrees Disagree Agree Best alternative to Photoshop ever. Guest • Dec 2019 Disagree Agree Incredibly great price, robust set of tools, leaner install. Guest • Jul 2019 • 1 agrees and 0 disagrees Disagree Agree Very similar to PS, but a lot cheaper. Works really well if you want more advanced tools and options. A large variety of tools, that can be utilized really well. Personally I like it more than PS not only because of the price but overall "feel" of the application. PollyZ • Dec 2019 Disagree Agree Brilliant tool, swapped over completely from Photoshop after almost two decades. The RAW features are great but it is still missing the features of bridge and lightroom for dealing with lots of photos quickly. If they can add an animation workflow I will be in heaven lewissturrock • Nov 2019 Disagree Agree Does it all and, once you get the hang of it, more intuitively than PS. Guest • Apr 2019 • 1 agrees and 0 disagrees Disagree Agree Professional, full featured app, with proper vendor support and very good workflows. The only true alternative to Photoshop. Thanks to Affinity I've been Adobe (and subscription) free for many years and very happy at that. wonderwarthog • Apr 2019 • 1 agrees and 0 disagrees Disagree Agree Best features and interface of all other alternatives of Adobe PS Guest • Oct 2018 • 2 agrees and 0 disagrees Disagree Agree Similar interface logic and keyboard shortcuts, great support for reading psd files. Pretty much 95% of PS abilities, but without the subscription fees. Guest • Oct 2018 • 2 agrees and 0 disagrees Disagree Agree One time payment, low price, can do almost anything Photoshop can do, often better! Frequent updates, many free tutorials online... Excellent team that answer any question on the forum. It's not the best alternative to Photoshop, Photoshop is a good alternative to Affinity Photo. Guest • Jul 2017 • 6 agrees and 0 disagrees Disagree Agree Very powerful tool and easy to use. Selection tools are the most precise and efficient i ve ever found. Guest • 6 days ago Disagree Agree It is usable! Everybody keeps recommending GIMP, which is (if you're used to Photoshop) horrible in it’s usability for creative work. Affinity Photo can totally keep up with Photoshop and is so much cheaper! Guest • Sep 2017 • 4 agrees and 1 disagrees Disagree Agree Amazing feature set, and you only have to pay once, i.e. not a recurring subscription which is hard to get out of like Photoshop. Ideally for one-off use, or daily use. Guest • Apr 2020 Disagree Agree No subscription - One-off payment ultra_blue • May 2018 • 2 agrees and 0 disagrees Disagree Agree Affinity Photo is perhaps the best pro-level application in alternative to Photoshop. The best feature, for me, is its non-destructive regulation layers management. Guest • Apr 2020 Disagree Agree Functional, very cheap, great UI Guest • Dec 2017 • 2 agrees and 0 disagrees Disagree Agree Does what I mostly need and does not force me to rent. Matt_Pub • Jul 2017 • 4 agrees and 0 disagrees Disagree Agree Affinity is the closest software to Photoshop. With a direct import for PSD files and the simple "Persona"-System it's the best solution with a low price. janse_w • Feb 2017 • 3 agrees and 1 disagrees Disagree Agree Full featured, easy to use, actively developed and cheap!
