Photoshop users feel right at home, because tools, functions and other essential elements can be found at familiar positions.Īffinity Photo explicitly targets designers and photo enthusiasts who rely on such a software product every day. Is this due to its smaller feature set? The look is modern, clearly organized and comes with a cool, darkish UI. Affinity Photo needs less than half the time to be ready to operate compared to Photoshop. First thing to notice is how really fast the app opens. Everybody can register to use and test the software in-depth without grabbing a credit card. Right now, Affinity Photo is in free beta stage. So let´s have a look under the hood of this new software and check it against its overwhelming rival, Adobe Photoshop. After the beta phase, Affinity Photo will be available at the Mac App Store, at an estimated price tag of £39.99 (€49.99/$49.99). The app claims to be a pro-level challenger to Adobe Photoshop, the undisputable top dog and standard in the publishing industry. And that was the reason why I moved from CC to Capture One for my raw processing.On February 10 this year a new creative design software was unveiled: Affinity Photo by Serif debuted in beta and is currently available for free, exclusively for Mac OS X. I'm happy with a software that is not the leader but I own it rather than agree for an extortion plan (in principle), and that's why I'll make a switch if Adobe buys Affinity. Do I own my laptop or do I rent it every month? Do I own my car or do I rent it every month? etc. Coming to the point of why to move: there is no doubt that PS is the best in the market, but that doesn't give them rights to hold consumers by their balls and squeeze money at their will.
There are enough cases where they buy companies to kill them. And one must be naive to believe that big companies always buy smaller ones to integrate. Also, there is a sense of ownership & pride being yourself than being bought by a big fish. To give you an example, it's hire & fire in the US where as companies don't fire that easily. I do agree, but there are cultural differences and work ethic differences.
