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
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.
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.
