Affinity anyone?
« on: July 27, 2015, 04:28:05 AM »
While rummaging through App Store, I came across   Affinity. It got mostly good reviews. Has anyone had experience with it?

Looks REALLY promising, Jon. Oh dear...another photo app to explore! blink.gif

The folks over at DPreview seem impressed too: http://www.dpreview.com/forums/thread/3871035 (except perhaps with the RAW conversion, but I use Lightroom for that anyway)

The folks at Affinity seem to be aiming high; they've also got an alternative to Illustrator called Affinity Designer.

Definitely a company to watch, and if you're looking for a PS alternative, it looks like it might fit the bill. Wish I'd noticed this last week - up until the 23rd, the app had special pricing for the launch. Oh well.

Let us know how you like it if you decide to try it! smile.gif

Looks very good; and at $49 it's a bargain over PSElements ($99) and appears to have the power of full photoshop. I may give it a try and see.

I haven't tried this, but Invisible Hand picked up a 10% coupon for all orders. The coupon code is LIKESERIF
