So what was my first impression of Affinity Photo six months ago?Īffinity Photo on macOS Catalina Everything is different It can do (most) everything that Photoshop can do for one payment instead of endless payments.

Affinity Photo sells as a one-time purchase, and a very affordable one at that. After Adobe changed their pricing model to monthly/recurring charges (so it’s like renting instead of owning), I started looking for a good alternative, but could not find anything suitable until discovering Affinity Photo around six months ago. Like many others, for me working in Photoshop is second nature, I don’t even think about it. To give some context of where I’m coming from, I have around 20 years experience working with Photoshop (and other Adobe apps). As I continue to learn AP and collect more notes, I’ll add them to this post.

This is where I scribble down notes and thoughts about my experience switching from Photoshop (PS) to Affinity Photo (AP). This post is a bit different than my regular in-depth tutorials.
