Last year I got an iPad pro as a gift. I’ve been meaning to do more with it especially photo editing and I finally got around to looking into it.
But…every damn photo app seems to be a subscription. The ones that aren’t are very basic.
Until I found Affinity Photo 2.
Holy hell, an extremely full featured photo app with no sub?! It’s like Lightroom and Photoshop rolled into one for a one-time payment of $A30.
I took a few days to learn it and once you do it’s very good.
For the cost of buying Affinity forever I could get Adobe’s photo plan for just 2 months!
For someone like me who will use this stuff lightly, going some months without using it at all, subscription software sucks.
Well done to Affinity for providing a high quality alternative. Give them a look - they also have Windows and Mac versions.
This sounds like an ad but it’s not, I’m just so tired of having subs pushed in my face - especially on the app store - that when I find a good alternative I feel like shouting about it!
I bought the whole suite - Publisher, Designer, and Photo. An amazing deal and all the licenses work on all platforms. Highly recommend, especially if you’re a macOS and iOS user.
By all you mean Windows, MacOS, and iOS.
No Android or Linux support, and no plans for it.
Sure. Linux is less than 3% of desktop and laptop market share. No one cares and those that do know how to use Wine.
Not true! Linux has a full 3% now according to statcounter!
That includes pre-rendering by Google servers, though, since they run Linux and Chromium. They’re not real users so you can knock that down by 0.5%, at least.
