Adobe Photoshop has long been the choice of photographers for post-production photo editing and processing. But, it can be costly with the Creative Cloud subscription-based service. Many photographers have tried a variety of different programs, but haven't been able to find one that's a good fit. Affinity Photo is an option that you might want to test drive if you're looking for a powerful image editing program. The interface is quite different from Photoshop, but once you get used to that, you'll find the features are pretty intuitive. And, the price can't be beat, with no monthly subscription fees.
Kevin Landwer-Johan, photographer and contributor to Digital Photography School, shares steps to get started with Affinity Photo.
Affinity Photo is a powerful image editing software. It’s both affordable and enjoyable to use.
But, as with any program for custom manipulation of photos, there is a reasonably steep learning curve involved. If you’re used to editing your images with
Adobe Photoshop, you’ll find the interface is different. This will take only a little getting used to.
I haven’t been using Affinity Photo for very long and have found it to be well designed, allowing for intuitive use. Switching image editing programs is not something I choose to do lightly. When you’ve been used to a particular workflow within a computer program, there must be a reasonable motivation to change.
My motivation was partly price. Affinity Photo is a product you can purchase outright without any monthly subscription fees. It’s also discounted from time to time, making it even more affordable. Even still, at full price, it is very reasonable for the quality of the product you receive.
