I'm looking at Affinity Photo because I'm sick of just about everything about Adobe, their products and subscription model. Looks pretty good for $40. Anyone using it? Thoughts? Also, how about Affinity Designer for web and app design?
I was on the beta, actually liked it. Theres a few differences in controls from Photoshop but its stll the closest alternative there is. Its also super cheap (it goes now for 40 euros) so I thinks its worth it. Gonna buy it myself. At least I know im not overpaying for it.
Theres a few annoying bits when you move over from photoshop, like the fact that you cant crop image out of your selection, but i think itll get there and once you understand the fact that it does NOT have to be a 1:1 copy of photoshop, youll be just fine.

my thoughts exactly
Also this is just shilling but I have a strong feeling that if you requested that select-crop feature from the devs you'd get it implemented on the next release guaranteed. Serif's folks actually care about the customer unlike Adobe who want to suck shareholder's cocks.
I've used Affinity Photo and Designer only marginally but they're extremely stable and fucking fast.

yeah I actually wonder, out of 15,000 employees that Adobe has, how many of them are actual software developers?
Exactly the same problem with Autodesk. For example, the monthly subscription for 3ds max is 230 euro. Both of these companies need a fucking reality check.

See, that right there makes it worth the price of admission for me. Photoshop is neither at this point.
It comes nowhere close to the behemoth that is Adobe.

and big organisations wonder why people pirate software.
