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.
