Which one is better Affinity or Photoshop?

I’ve been subscribed to Photoshop for a while now and I have started looking for cheaper software. Currently I am paying $20 an month while Affinity is a $25 one time purchase, does anyone recommend this software and use it or should I stick with Photoshop?

edit: I just realized Affinity is on sale for $25 it’s usually $50 lol

Photopea is free and it works pretty well, so I recommended trying to use Photopea instead of Photoshop or Affinity!

I use photopea but I think Pixlr E is better.

Photopea is almost the exact same as Photoshop BUT it makes lower quality pictures as i experienced, but it is a good start

Ooh I’d love to chirp in. I used to be a proud Adobe subscriber. I loved Photoshop and Premiere Pro. The problem was that it was wildly expensive. When I switched my setup over to full macOs, I learned about Affinity, Pixelmator and Final Cut. I purchased Affinity and Pixelmator right off that bat. I love them. I haven’t found a feature in Photoshop that Affinity doesn’t have. I use Affinity for more complex projects, but just Pixelmator for simple shapes or color changes.

Slight digression:

When it comes to Final Cut, I purchased the Apple Pro Apps for Education Bundle. This gave me Logic Pro X, Final Cut Pro X, Apple Motion and two other programs I don’t use that much. For $200 you get Final Cut, which is a $300 application. I recommend Final Cut if you do any video editing.

I agree, but at least it’s a one time purchase with free updates!

I would personally reccommend paintdotnet for most graphics or ROBLOX-clothes related content, and Krita for actual drawings.

I think so too, paintdotnet is completely free and there are so many tools that can help improve your clothing designs!

Rather pay for photoshop IMO, Photopea is just a free Czechia get away with a lot fewer options than photoshop, and this mostly applies to art design and drawing, but in general, very limited compared to photoshop.

Yes I agree, Kirta is a good software, however, I do believe that if you’re doing something like vector art or advanced detailed drawing, it can be slightly lacklustre IMO.
