Overall Satisfaction with Affinity

As someone who uses videos and photographs regularly alongside my husband/partner, we have found it to be an amazingly useful tool when it comes to editing our photos and creating graphic designs. It allows us the freedom to do this without a monthly subscription as other programs have.
  • Color manipulation.
  • Photo editing.
  • Graphic design.
  • Exporting as different files.
  • I have found some of the tools to be particular. I have to click them in a certain order for it to work.
  • Ability to alter or move the icons displayed.
  • Auto-save as you work.
  • Very quick ROI due to the low cost.
  • One time expense VS monthly expense.
  • Ability to adjust from Photoshop easily.
For a regular user of Photoshop, Affinity is a very easy transition. It has all the same features and once you adapt to it, and it provides a quick return on investment.
Adobe never falls short when it comes to customer support. They have not become who they are by dismissing legitimate concerns. If you do not know how to use photo editing software I would not rely on their support to teach you. They can help if you something is wrong with their software or helping find the location of a certain function, but editing software is intricate and detailed and is not something a phone support rep can assist you with learning.
If you already understand how to use PhotoShop but don't use it often enough to justify the monthly expense, Affinity is a great option. Affinity is a one time purchase and the layout is very similar to Photoshop. You will be able to adjust fairly quickly to using Affinity.
