Not sure if this is the appropriate place for this... I have been thinking about purchasing a photo editor called Affinity Photo it's a non-subscription based software which is why I am considering that over PS. I was wondering if anyone here has used it and if so what are your thoughts on it? I have been meaning to try out the free trial for it but haven't had time. |

I have Affinity Photo. It's all I use and it has all the same features as Photoshop. I haven't used Photoshop myself so I'm not sure if the features are in the same places and can be used in the same ways, but Affinity Photo is a very powerful software. Affinity has two other programs that can also be paired with it, but I don't use the other ones. If you have questions let me know. I can also get screenshots of the software if you would like. |

You are right, Sunset Grove, I do use Affinity Photo. :) I personally really love it. I tried Photoshop out for a while but I didn't like the subscription feature. I like Affinity Photo's one-time pay. I use Affinity for all my editing needs - from my HEE art to my work (photography editing and preparing historical photographs for use in documentaries). It's very similar to Photoshop and the company itself provides some really great videos on how to use the different features Affinity offers. Many Photoshop tutorials are easy to translate for use in Affinity. Affinity does have two other companion applications - Affinity Designer and Affinity Publisher. If you are wanting to do photo manips only - I would go with Affinity Photo. If you are wanting to do more graphic arts/illustrations - then go with Affinity Designer. If you ever need any help, feel free to mail me - I've been using Affinity Photo for 2+ years now. |

Here's some screenshots of the program.
This is what you see when you pull up the program. https://i.lensdump.com/i/imcmE0.png
Zoom in on the right hand side. There are a bunch of pre-loaded brushes. You can also purchase brush packs and such. https://i.lensdump.com/i/imc3cq.png
Another picture of the right hand side. There's a LOT of ways you can alter photos with this and you can be as picky as you want. I still haven't figured out all the bells and whistles. You can also add/drop layers, mask layers, etc. https://i.lensdump.com/i/imclVe.png |

Awesome, thank you Willow. I would definitely go with affinity photo because I only do manips. I don't know when I'll get around to purchasing it (if at all) because I have been so busy and haven't been able to do art and I have no idea when I'll have spare time and would rather not purchase it if I'm not going to use it. I will definitely message you if I need help with it. :) |

Thank you, does it have a "reduce noise" option? |
