Affinity Photo is half price for a while

[DrJon]

While I use Photoshop I see Affinity are selling their well-respected and really-quite-similar photo editor for £23.99 at present (Windows/Mac). I don't have the full version so will leave people to make their own minds up; but do have their iPad one, which is impressive for a tablet, but needs an Apple Pencil and specific hardware.

IMHO well worth a look, and a check of some reviews, if you don't want an Adobe subscription...

I've just downloaded the 90 day trial version. Only ever used Canon DPP before, so seems very complicated to start with but impressed with some initial results.

With added sky, never done this before, quite pleased with the result.

Still 80 days to go.

This appears to be on offer currently....I’m interested in replacing my Lightroom subscription
does anyone know if it has radial and grad filters?

I use affinity but do not know if they have these filters but I know you can download plugin packs for a one off fee ,check out there tutorial website ,very informative and helpful
hope this helps

Like many others I have trialed this piece of software a couple of times over the course of the last two years with a view to getting out of my Adobe subscription. I found it to be a clunky, frustrating, horrible mess and would not use it even if it was free. I will admit that, having been a user of Adobe since the advent of CS1 my view is probably somewhat predjudiced, but I am happy to continue with my Adobe subscription. It has no equal and for what you get for less than a tenner PM, is still outstanding value. Regards to all, Ian W.

Thanks for this...I guess I’ll stick with Adobe.... it’s not bad value.
im not keen on the subscription culture we seem to be in.....just need to keep control of the number of live subs going out for mags and app services

think I’ll make a list in my old Filofax !
