And not just for Affinity Photo, but also Affinity Publisher to replace InDesign, and Affinity Designer to replace Illustrator. One-time purchase and you own the software. Here are some notes from when I first got started with Affinity Photo (AP).Īffinity Photo is a solid Photoshop alternative with no recurring payments. ProsĪs with any software-switching experience, there are pros and cons. It will take some time to reach the same efficiency levels with Affinity Photo. But if you’re coming over with years of experience working with Photoshop, there will be pain. If you’re new to graphics work and have never used Photoshop, Affinity Photo will feel very intuitive. All 100% worth it though because no monthly payments. Apart from the general layout of panels and menus, Affinity Photo’s UI/ UX is much different than it is with Photoshop. For long-time Photoshop users, that’s like THE big hurdle in switching: having to start at zero and relearn everything. So naturally switching to something new requires time, determination and patience. For many, using Photoshop is just effortless. Well not everything, but it took several months to learn the new software and adapt my workflow. 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.
